The BMES Social Impact Award honors an individual, project, organization, or institution for impactful contributions toward broadening access to biomedical engineering education, career pathways, and opportunities to communities and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds that biomedical engineering has not typically drawn from. The award seeks to recognize lifetime achievements and high-impact activities (i.e., research, academia, and service) that are innovative and improve biomedical engineering academia and industry by bringing different voices and participation from individuals who might not currently represent a majority.
The recipient of this award will have the chance to deliver a plenary lecture at the BMES Annual Meeting and publish an article in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering. The lecture should address both challenges and opportunities that result from increasing diversity and inclusion in the biomedical engineering community
1. The nominee must be an individual, project, organization, or institution demonstrating outstanding contributions to improving accessibility to BME education and opportunities.
2. The award recipient will need to accept the award in person and deliver a 20-minute lecture at the BMES Annual Meeting.
3. The awardee will be asked to publish an article regarding their work in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering.
4. The nominee is required to be a BMES member. If an organization is nominated, at least one representative must be a BMES member.
