1999 ASME Y.C. Fung Young Investigator Award
Bioengineering Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
The Bioengineering Division of ASME is soliciting nominations for the 1999
ASME Y.C. Fung Young Investigator Award. The Bioengineering Division
established the Y.C. Fung Young Investigator Award as a divisional award in
1985 and an ASME societal award in 1999 to encourage young investigators to
pursue research in Bioengineering by acknowledging recipients early in their
career for the quality of their research and their commitment to the field
of Bioengineering. The award is named in honor of Yuan Cheng Bertram Fung,
Ph.D., Professor of Bioengineering at the University of California, San
Diego. Professor Fung is considered by many to be the father of modern
bioengineering. Professor Fung is a long-standing member of ASME, and a
past recipient of the ASME H.R. Lissner Award for his outstanding
achievements in the field of Bioengineering.
Eligibility: Only candidates whose names have been submitted in nomination
will be considered for the award. Candidates must have earned a Ph.D. or
equivalent degree in any field of engineering, physics, medicine or life
sciences. Candidates must either have received their terminal degree within
7 years of their nomination for this award or be under 36 years of age on
June 1st of the year in which they are nominated.
Nominations: Nominations should be made using the standard printed form on
the back of this announcement. The nomination package should also include a

goals. The statement of goals should be limited to 2 pages. In addition, 5
letters of recommendation are required in support of the candidate. The
letters should provide evidence of the candidate's past research
accomplishments, future potential, and commitment to pursuing Bioengineering
research. Ten copies of the candidate's package, including curriculum
vitae, letters of recommendation, and the nomination form should be prepared
and forwarded to the Chair of the ASME Y.C. Fung Young Investigator Award
