CNSF (Coalition for National Science Funding) 24th Annual Exhibition

What: "Investments in Scientific and Educational Research: Fueling American Innovation"
When:  Wednesday, May 9, 2018
Where:  Washington, DC

Groundbreaking Research Fueling American Innovation

Dr.'s Bhaduri and Goel participated at the Exhibition and presented about their development of a regenerative material to be used in spinal surgeries. The material is now being manufactured locally, providing a direct impact on communities in Ohio. Many national societies participated in the exhibition to show-off exemplary research.  Bhaduri/Goel project was selected and sponsored by the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE). Nationwide, Bhaduri/Goel project was chosen as the finalist on behalf of the institute. Out of 40 poster displayed, all from different universities. theirs was selected as one of the five groundbreaking projects affecting the lives of Americans.

The CNSF Exhibition and Reception annually draws more than 300 attendees, including members of Congress and their staff, congressional committee staff, the leadership of NSF, and representatives from the White House and other policymaking and research agencies.
