Laurencin, M.D., Ph.D., the Travel Fellowship supports under-represented minorities in the field of biomaterials by providing undergraduate student resources to attend the annual meeting of the Society For Biomaterials, and to become a member of the Society. The goal of this initiative is to stimulate and encourage recipients to pursue a career in\u00a0biomaterials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;background: white;text-align: start;margin: 0in 0in 15.0pt 0in\">Studies conducted by the National Science Foundation and others have concluded that African-Americans, Latinos, Native-Americans and Native Alaskans are disproportionally under-represented in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Their underrepresentation represents a barrier to excellence in these fields.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 18.0pt;background: white;text-align: start;margin: 0in 0in 15.0pt 0in\">This travel fellowship includes registration, airfare, hotel, transfers, and meals to the SFB Annual Meeting and Exposition held annually. Each awardee will also be given a complimentary membership in the Society For Biomaterials and assigned a graduate student mentor to guide them through the annual meeting, and help them pursue their advanced degree and career goals.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Named in honor of a distinguished member of the Society For Biomaterials, Cato T.
