This project aims to coordinate a network of stakeholders that will promote economic growth through workforce development in Advanced Manufacturing of Cell and Tissue-based Products (AMCTP). AMCTP requires a new kind of manufacturing that uses robotics, microfluidics, 3-D printing, computational modeling, and novel types of engineering to construct biologically relevant products composed of living cells in combination with natural or synthetic materials. The field is built upon advances in stem cell biology, genome editing, synthetic biology, computational modeling, micro- and nano-fabrication, tissue engineering, and 3-D additive manufacturing. The products of AMCTP have the potential to extend our understanding of disorders and may provide effective methods for treating conditions such as Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, macular degeneration, diabetes, and heart disease. There are expanding career opportunities in this field, as well as unmet needs to develop a workforce that has the required skills. By creating a network of stakeholders from education, government, and industry, the goal of the Coordination Network is to develop a skilled, diverse workforce for AMCTP and inform the public about AMCTP. This coordination network will use the experience, expertise, and perspectives of diverse stakeholders to unify efforts and scale up the progress in preparation of entry, middle-skill, and senior level career tracks in AMCTP. Madison area Technical College will work with stakeholders to ensure that project activities include principles of inclusion, equity, equality, and diversity. The lessons learned in this project have the potential to serve as a model for similar efforts in other emerging technology areas. The project aims to accomplish four objectives: (i) establish a national consortium and a system of governance based on shared interest and public-private partnerships to enable workforce development for AMCTP; (ii) conduct annual meetings of the AMCTP consortium and focused Special Interest Group meetings; (iii) identify/develop/disseminate industry-based AMCTP core competencies and identify and disseminate information about relevant workforce education/training options; and (iv) create a structure for sustainability based on public-private partnerships, investments, and commitments.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在协调利益相关者网络，通过细胞和组织产品先进制造（AMCTP）的劳动力发展促进经济增长。AMCTP需要一种新的制造方式，使用机器人技术、微流体技术、3D打印、计算建模和新型工程技术来构建由活细胞与天然或合成材料相结合组成的生物相关产品。该领域建立在干细胞生物学，基因组编辑，合成生物学，计算建模，微和纳米制造，组织工程和3D增材制造的进步之上。AMCTP的产品有可能扩展我们对疾病的理解，并可能提供治疗帕金森病，脊髓损伤，黄斑变性，糖尿病和心脏病等疾病的有效方法。在这一领域有不断扩大的职业机会，以及未满足的需求，以发展一支拥有所需技能的劳动力。通过建立一个由教育、政府和工业界利益相关者组成的网络，协调网络的目标是为AMCTP培养一支熟练的、多样化的劳动力队伍，并向公众宣传AMCTP。这一协调网络将利用不同利益攸关方的经验、专门知识和观点，统一努力，并扩大在准备AMCTP的入门、中等技能和高级职业轨道方面的进展。 麦迪逊地区技术学院将与利益相关者合作，以确保项目活动包括包容，公平，平等和多样性的原则。在这个项目中吸取的经验教训有可能成为其他新兴技术领域类似努力的典范。该项目旨在实现四个目标：㈠在共同利益和公私伙伴关系的基础上建立一个国家联合体和治理系统，以便为非洲小额信贷技术方案发展劳动力; ㈡举行非洲小额信贷技术方案联合体年度会议和有重点的特别兴趣小组会议;（三）确定/发展/传播基于行业的AMCTP核心能力，并确定和传播有关劳动力教育的信息;培训选项;以及（iv）在公私合作、投资和承诺的基础上建立可持续发展的结构。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
