Workshop on Stem Cell Research Applied to Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering, Arlington, VA, Fall 2006

本次研讨会的目的是交流有关干细胞研究的现状和计划的信息，这些干细胞研究应用于再生医学和组织工程，由联邦机构、美国州机构以及外国政府和其他机构资助。演讲者将由Mate IWG--多机构组织工程科学跨机构工作组的联邦代表选出。世界技术评估中心(WTEC)将为研讨会提供后勤支持，并在研讨会结束后两个月内以硬拷贝和电子形式制作研讨会书面报告，并通过网络向公众提供。该研讨会旨在汇聚美国和国外干细胞研究和再生医学/组织工程领域的一些世界领先专家，就当前的研究、研究主题和资金倡议交换信息。这些参与者将通过文献计量学确定，并咨询美国政府的专家。拟议的活动将通过纸质报告和发布在公共网站上向公众传达结果。讲习班的结果本身将是有益的，并可能为实地评估该领域的国际研究奠定基础。研讨会将于2006年晚些时候在国家科学基金会举行。这次研讨会产生的信息可能对Mate IWG和NSF生物工程和环境系统(BES)分部的生化工程/生物技术(BEB)项目的规划目的有用，并将被提炼成提交给NSF和Mate IWG的报告。

0647040SheltonThe purpose of this workshop is to exchange information about the status and plans for stem cell research as applied to regenerative medicine and tissue engineering that is funded by Federal Agencies, U.S. state agencies, and by foreign governments and other institutions. Speakers are to be chosen by Federal representatives to the MATES IWG-- the Multi Agency Tissue Engineering Science Interagency Working Group. The World Technology Evaluation Center (WTEC) is to provide logistical support for the workshop and produce a written report from the workshop in hardcopy and electronic form within two months after the workshop, and make it available to the public via the Web. The workshop is to assemble some of the world's leading experts in stem cell research and regenerative medicine/tissue engineering in the U.S. and abroad to exchange information on current research, research themes, and funding initiatives. These participants will be identified by bibliometrics and in consultation with experts in the U.S. Government.The proposed activity will communicate the results for the benefit of the public via reports on paper and posted on public websites. The workshop results will themselves be beneficial, and may lay the groundwork for an on-site assessment of international research in the field. The workshop is to be held at NSF in the late Fall of 2006. Information generated at this workshop may be useful for planning purposes for the MATES IWG and the Biochemical Engineering/Biotechnology (BEB) Programs in the Bioengineering and Environmental Systems (BES) Division of NSF, and will be distilled into a report for NSF and the MATES IWG.
