NSF has made an award in support of participant travel costs and management costs associated with the "Bioengineering Road Map Summit" being held in the Mountain View, CA, at the NASA Ames Research Center, January 8-10, 2018. The proposal builds upon a previous 2015 and 2016 NSF BME funded workshops in which a Roadmap was created and refined identifying pathways, milestones, and challenges toward ending the organ shortage. This workshop seeks to finalize and publish a public version of the Road Map that draws on expertise from government, industry, and academia to identify the challenge topics, sub-challenges, and technology opportunities that should be addressed to accelerate advancement towards the end goal of engineered solutions to organ disease and impairment. The workshop will be organized around the structure of the 14 Road Map Committees and will include three main types of activities: 1) keynote panels and presentations; 2) road map working groups; and 3) integrated networking. It is anticipated that 200 to 300 researchers will participate in the Summit. Outputs expected include: 1) An updated Road Map Report for public distribution, including a searchable online version; 2) an increased number of collaborations between participating researchers; and 3) identification of innovative research opportunities and funding sources by introducing non-traditional researchers to the field. Keynote speakers and participants will be curated through: the Vascular Tissue Challenge and New Organ Liver Prize team rosters; existing New Organ Alliance Road Map Committee members; participants in past workshops sponsored by NSF, Wake Forest, or CASIS; and other key members of academia, industry, and government. The workshop is expected to leverage new relationships for additional prizes and challenges on the bioengineering pathways toward ending the organ shortage. Ultimately, the workshop will help advance the goal of making regenerated, engineered organs and tissues available to patients who need them.

NSF 已颁发奖金，用于支持与 2018 年 1 月 8 日至 10 日在加利福尼亚州山景城 NASA 艾姆斯研究中心举行的“生物工程路线图峰会”相关的参与者差旅费用和管理费用。该提案建立在之前 2015 年和 2016 年 NSF BME 资助的研讨会的基础上，其中创建并完善了路线图，确定了结束器官短缺的途径、里程碑和挑战。本次研讨会旨在最终确定并发布路线图的公开版本，该路线图利用政府、行业和学术界的专业知识来确定应解决的挑战主题、子挑战和技术机会，以加速实现器官疾病和损伤工程解决方案的最终目标。研讨会将围绕 14 个路线图委员会的结构组织，并将包括三类主要活动：1）主题小组讨论和演讲； 2) 路线图工作组； 3）集成网络。 预计将有200至300名研究人员参加此次峰会。预期产出包括： 1) 更新的路线图报告供公众分发，包括可搜索的在线版本； 2）参与研究人员之间的合作数量增加； 3）通过将非传统研究人员引入该领域来确定创新研究机会和资金来源。主题演讲者和参与者将通过以下方式进行策划：血管组织挑战赛和新器官肝脏奖团队名册；现有新器官联盟路线图委员会成员；过去由 NSF、维克森林大学或 CASIS 主办的研讨会的参与者；以及学术界、工业界和政府的其他主要成员。该研讨会预计将利用新的关系来获得额外的奖项和挑战，以解决器官短缺的生物工程途径。最终，该研讨会将有助于推进为有需要的患者提供再生、工程器官和组织的目标。
