Given the need for new instrumentation that enables discovery in the biological sciences, a workshop will be held in Arlington, VA in September 2008 that brings together instrument development experts and biological researchers across the disciplines to identify emerging needs. The workshop will identify areas of instrumentation development that have the highest potential for transforming biological research as well as on fostering inter-/transdisciplinary research between biologists and instrument developers. The need for such a workshop arises from exceptionally high potential instrumentation has for transforming biological research and training new generation of the workforce. Scientists representing an exceptionally broad range of biological disciplines as well as instrumentation developers will participate in one and a half days of discussions. The outcomes of the workshop include: 1) identification of the most urgent needs of the biological community for instrumentation that would transform and move the field (and its many sub-disciplines) forward; 2) Identification of the best approaches for interdisciplinary collaborations between biologists and instrument developers from recent successful biological instrumentation projects; 3) Highlighting of the most recent breakthroughs in technology and instrumentation that could potentially be applied to the field of biological research and have a transformative impact; 4) Identification of the most efficient ways and approaches for involving students in biological instrumentation development as such programs provide some of the best opportunities for training the next generation workforce; and 5) Foster the development of entrepreneurial activities that would allow for the first proof-of concept prototype to be transformed into commercial instrumentation.

鉴于需要新的仪器，使生物科学的发现，将于2008年9月在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行一个研讨会，汇集了跨学科的仪器开发专家和生物研究人员，以确定新的需求。 该研讨会将确定具有最大潜力的仪器开发领域，以改变生物学研究以及促进生物学家和仪器开发人员之间的跨学科研究。对这样一个研讨会的需要来自于仪器在改变生物研究和培训新一代劳动力方面的极高潜力。代表极其广泛的生物学科的科学家以及仪器开发人员将参加为期一天半的讨论。讲习班的成果包括：1）确定生物界对能够改变和推动该领域的仪器的最迫切需求2）从最近成功的生物仪器项目中确定生物学家和仪器开发人员之间跨学科合作的最佳方法; 3）突出可能应用于生物研究领域并产生变革性影响的技术和仪器方面的最新突破;四、确定最有效的方式和方法，让学生参与生物仪器的开发，因为这些项目提供了一些最好的机会。培训下一代劳动力; 5）促进创业活动的发展，使第一个概念验证原型转化为商业仪器。
