    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
    curriculum vitae of the nominee and a statement of the candidate's research
    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
    Selection Committee for review by the BED Honors Committee.
