Investments in aquatic species around the world support the annual production of more than 110 million tons of food, the direct employment of more than 60 million people, and the support many types of scientific research including medicine. Valuable genetic lines of aquatic species, such as fast-growing species for fish farmers (aquaculture) or endangered species, must be preserved in a way that can be recovered years, decades, or even longer after they are collected. Cryopreservation (freezing) is a valuable tool to protect these resources, but it must be done in a standardized way with devices and approaches that can fit all budgets. A new approach is to use 3D printing and consumer-level electronics to produce devices that users can manufacture themselves. This “open hardware” needs to be made accessible to new user and maker communities. This project will develop an Open Hardware Ecosystems in which users can access files to make devices and help shape future developments. This Ecosystem will allow laboratories, stock centers, academic institutions, aquaculture producers, and conservation agencies to preserve and distribute genetic material for future development. Open-source hardware offers tremendous opportunities for science to expand participation and improve outcomes. This project seeks to establish germplasm repositories to safeguard the genetic resources of aquatic species. A strategy based on the principles of business development is needed for creation of an efficient Open Hardware Ecosystem to avoid pitfalls and to generate opportunities by identifying time, resources, costs, and personnel needed to maintain and use the Ecosystem. Useful platforms should be able to distribute fabrication files for open hardware, as well as the associated user manuals, data collection worksheets, database structures, training curriculum, and other information needed to produce repository-ready samples. This project will be user-based and will focus on the process for recruitment leading to community development, and the progression through user to maker to developer. This planning stage will include a determination of the size and characteristics of the target sectors, while identifying opportunities for expansion. Process mapping approaches will be used to develop simulation modeling and analysis of the proposed platform. These options will allow for open distribution of technology, while maintaining protection of intellectual property.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.

世界各地对水生物种的投资支持每年超过1.1亿吨的粮食生产，直接就业超过6000万人，并支持包括医学在内的多种科学研究。有价值的水生物种遗传系，如养鱼户（水产养殖）的快速生长物种或濒危物种，必须以一种可以在收集后数年、数十年甚至更长时间内恢复的方式加以保护。低温保存（冷冻）是保护这些资源的宝贵工具，但必须以标准化的方式使用适合所有预算的设备和方法进行。一种新的方法是使用3D打印和消费级电子产品来生产用户可以自己制造的设备。这种“开放硬件”需要让新用户和制造商社区可以访问。该项目将开发一个开放的硬件生态系统，用户可以访问文件来制作设备，并帮助塑造未来的发展。该生态系统将允许实验室、储备中心、学术机构、水产养殖生产商和保护机构为未来的发展保存和分配遗传物质。 开源硬件为科学扩大参与和改善成果提供了巨大的机会。该项目旨在建立种质库，以保护水生物种的遗传资源。创建一个高效的开放硬件生态系统需要一个基于业务发展原则的战略，以避免陷阱，并通过确定维护和使用生态系统所需的时间、资源、成本和人员来创造机会。有用的平台应该能够分发开放硬件的制造文件，以及相关的用户手册、数据收集工作表、数据库结构、培训课程以及生产存储库就绪样本所需的其他信息。该项目将以用户为基础，并将重点放在招聘导致社区发展的过程中，以及通过用户到制造商到开发人员的进展。这一规划阶段将包括确定目标部门的规模和特点，同时确定扩展的机会。过程映射方法将用于开发模拟建模和分析拟议的平台。这些选择将允许技术的公开分发，同时保持知识产权的保护。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得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的支持。
