This Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) provides funding for the exploration of the unique research needs of biomedical manufacturing and the definition of an appropriate research mechanism for delivering those needs. The biomedical industry is one of the largest and fastest growing segments of the world economy. It includes highly sophisticated products, which are complex to manufacturing and have relatively short product lives. This is particularly true of electronic products, with product lives similar to the computer industry. Additionally, it will include many products, which are not currently possible to manufacture, such as a tissue-engineered liver. Two companies are currently marketing manufactured skin. As part of this project, biomedical companies will be interviewed and included in an advisory board to help define the biomedical manufacturing research needs along with representatives from government and academe. The state of the art in manufacturing research relating to the biomedical industry will be defined. Government regulatory requirements will be investigated and the impact of these requirements on biomedical manufacturing will be characterized. The successful conclusion of this research will lead to improved biomedical manufacturing processes and improved efficiency in the transfer of biomedical prototype products and processes to full-scale production. It will define the unique research requirements for biomedical manufacturing and transfer those requirements to academic and industrial research groups for implementation. Further, this project will define the most appropriate research mechanism for performing biomedical manufacturing research which will deliver the research results to industry.

探索性研究小额赠款（SGER）为探索生物医学制造的独特研究需求提供资金，并为满足这些需求定义适当的研究机制。 生物医药行业是世界经济中规模最大、增长最快的部门之一。 它包括高度复杂的产品，这些产品制造复杂，产品寿命相对较短。 电子产品尤其如此，其产品寿命与计算机行业相似。 此外，它将包括许多目前无法制造的产品，例如组织工程肝脏。 目前有两家公司正在销售人造皮肤。 作为该项目的一部分，生物医学公司将接受采访，并包括在一个咨询委员会，以帮助确定生物医学制造业的研究需求沿着来自政府和企业的代表。 将定义与生物医学行业相关的制造研究的最新技术。 政府监管要求将进行调查，这些要求对生物医学制造业的影响将被描述。这项研究的成功结束将导致改进生物医学制造工艺，提高生物医学原型产品和工艺向全面生产转移的效率。 它将定义生物医学制造的独特研究要求，并将这些要求转移到学术和工业研究小组进行实施。 此外，该项目将确定最合适的研究机制，以进行生物医学制造研究，并将研究结果交付给工业界。
