The Biomedical Engineering Society runs a set of awards for students and early-career researchers, including the Athanasiou Student and Post-Doc Awards for the top graduate and postdoctoral papers published in Annals of Biomedical Engineering, Graduate Student Travel Awards and Post-doctoral Researcher Travel Awards for presenting at the BMES Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering Conference, the CMBE Rising Stars award for exceptional junior principal investigators, and BMES Student Chapter Awards. Nomination windows are tied to the society's annual meeting and CMBE conference cycles.
