The Sixth Bioengineering Research Partnership (BRP) Grantee Meeting was conducted by the NIH Bioengineering Consortium (BECON) on July 13-14, 2006, at the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Convention Center in Bethesda, Maryland. The BRP Program is coordinated by the NIH Bioengineering Consortium (BECON) and was first announced in October 1999. The program is aimed at encouraging and supporting multi-disciplinary biomedical research that requires partnerships among scientific disciplines and organizations. This meeting showcased research supported by the BRP grants, provided a forum for grantees and NIH program staff to identify and discuss related issues, and facilitated the development of future research partnerships. Approximately 180 people attended this meeting. The program included an "NIH Update" session, poster presentation by all grantees, 29 ten-minute grantee presentations (categorized as basic, translational, and applied research) to showcase the broad scope of approaches and applications to biomedical research supported by the BRP program, and general discussion sessions. Dr. Albert Lee (NIBIB) and Mr. Elijah Weisberg (NIBIB) chaired the meeting. Details of the meeting, including the Agenda, List of Attendees, Welcome, BRP Project Abstracts, and slide presentations of the "NIH Update" are available at the links below. The BECON is administered by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. The Chair of the BECON is Dr. Michael Huerta of the National Institute of Mental Health.
