Presentation Transcript

  1. National Science Foundation Biochemical Engineering Program

  2. Biochemical Engineering Program Program Director: Bruce Hamilton (bhamilto@nsf.gov)

  3. Biochemical Engineering / Biotechnology Programs Topic Areas of Common Interest to Both Programs Upstream Processing Downstream Processing Bioprocess Modeling, Monitoring, Control and Optimization Metabolic Engineering Quantitative Systems Biotechnology (QSB) Tissue Engineering Nanobiotechnology Food Engineering

  4. Biochemical Engineering / Biotechnology Programs Biochemical Engineering focuses on Single Investigator Applications (IIAs) Biotechnology welcomes IIAs and provides an Opportunity for Multidisciplinary and Group Proposals

  5. Biochemical Engineering / Biotechnology Programs Unsolicited Proposal Submission Dates February 1 to March 1, 2007 August 15 to September 15, 2007 CAREER Proposal Submission Dates July 18, 2007 Workshop, Conference, SGER, REU, RET Proposals Call Program Director to discuss before applying

  6. Biochemical Engineering / Biotechnology Programs Both Programs support an Inter-Agency Activity in Tissue Engineering(http://tissueengineering.gov)Participating Agencies/Departments Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Department of Defense (DOD) Department of Energy (DOE) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Science Foundation (NSF)

  7. Biochemical Engineering / Biotechnology Programs Tissue Engineering Goals of Participating Agencies/Departments Facilitate Communication across Departments/Agencies Enhance Cooperation through Co-Sponsorship of Scientific Meetings and Workshops Monitor Technology by Undertaking Cooperative Assessments of the Field Provide for Support of Tissue Engineering Research through Interagency Funding Opportunity Announcements Issue a Strategic Plan for Tissue Science and Engineering

  8. Biochemical Engineering / Biotechnology Programs Tissue EngineeringAccomplishments (5 Years) WTEC Panel Report on Tissue Engineering Research (January 2002) Updated Five Year Plan Approved by the Subcommittee on Biotechnology (June 2002) Generated an Interagency Web Site (http://www.tissueengineering.gov) The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) Issued an RFP for Tissue Engineering Proposals based on Information from the WTEC Panel Report (March 2003) Abt Report on: “The Emergence of Tissue Engineering as a Research Field” (NSF 04-50) (October 2003) Go-Ahead from the Committee on Science to Formulate a Strategic Plan for Tissue Science and Engineering – To be Issued by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) Issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on “Enabling Technologies for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (R01)” ( NIH PAR-06-504)
