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.

全世界水生物种的投资支持超过1.1亿吨食品的生产，直接雇用超过6000万人，并支持包括医学在内的许多科学研究。水生物种的有价值的遗传系，例如养殖农民的快速生长物种（水产养殖）或濒危物种，必须以可以恢复数年，几十年甚至更长的方式来保存它们。冷冻保存（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来完成。一种新的方法是使用3D打印和消费者级的电子产品来生产用户可以自己制造的设备。新用户和制造商社区需要使这种“开放硬件”可访问。该项目将开发一个开放的硬件生态系统，用户可以在其中访问文件以制造设备并帮助塑造未来的发展。该生态系统将允许实验室，股票中心，学术机构，水产养殖生产者和保护机构保存和分发遗传材料以供未来发展。开源硬件为科学提供了巨大的机会，可以扩大参与并改善结果。该项目旨在建立种质存储库来保护水生物种的遗传资源。建立有效的开放硬件生态系统需要基于业务发展原则的策略，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，成本和人员来产生机会。有用的平台应该能够为开放硬件分发制造文件，以及相关的用户手册，数据收集工作表，数据库结构，培训课程以及生产可用于存储库的样本所需的其他信息。该项目将基于用户，并将重点介绍招聘导致社区开发的过程，以及通过用户向制造商发展为开发人员的过程。这个计划阶段将包括确定目标部门的规模和特征，同时确定扩展的机会。过程映射方法将用于开发拟议平台的模拟建模和分析。这些选项将允许对技术进行公开分配，同时维持知识产权的保护。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准被视为通过评估而被视为珍贵的支持。
