Description of Collaborative Activity: |
This interagency working group, organized under the auspices of the Subcommittee on Biotechnology of the National Science and Technology Council (NTSC), coordinates federal funding, scientific meetings, regulatory guidance, standards development, funding efforts, and other key issues related to tissue engineering science. The working group enables Federal agencies involved in tissue engineering to stay informed of each other’s activities and coordinate efforts in a timely and efficient manner. In 2007, the working group published their federal-wide strategic plan for advancing tissue science and engineering. The working group is formally recognized by NIH/OD as a collaborative trans-NIH working group and is actively engaged with other agencies to accelerate progress in the tissue engineering field. |
