In FY2021, the Division of Chemistry at National Science Foundation (NSF) launched a new highly collaborative program (the Molecular Foundations for Biotechnology - MFB), which supports fundamentally new approaches in molecular sciences to drive new directions in molecular biotechnology, a critical and emerging technology of the 21st century. The program has grown into a direct partnership between the National Institutes of Health’s National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and six divisions across four NSF directorates. Eleven awards were made in the first two funding cycles, and a third funding round is in progress. With support from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) and the Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships at NSF, Dr. Anthony Boccanfuso of University-Industry Demonstration Partnership is organizing a workshop for awardees in the first two funding cycles, other academic investigators, and a strategic set of private sector representatives to consider the progress of the MFB program (Day 1), followed by a day dedicated to exploring current federal agency approaches to translating research and the commercial and translation potential of the research thrusts (Day 2). The ultimate goals of this workshop are to assess the translational potential of the MFB program, bring in possible investment from the business sector, and identify other technical areas needing additional investments. The workshop is slated to take place in Spring 2024 in the Washington, DC region.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.

2021 财年，美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 化学部启动了一项新的高度协作计划（生物技术分子基金会 - MFB），该计划支持分子科学的全新方法，以推动分子生物技术的新方向，这是一个关键的新兴领域该项目已发展成为美国国立卫生研究院国家人类基因组研究所 (NHGRI) 和 6 个部门的 4 名 NSF 主任之间的直接合作伙伴关系。在前两个资助周期中，第三轮资助正在进行中，在 NSF 化学部 (CHE) 和技术、创新和合作伙伴关系理事会的支持下，大学-工业示范伙伴关系的 Anthony Boccanfuso 博士正在开展这项工作。为前两个资助周期的获奖者、其他学术研究人员和一组战略性的私营部门代表组织一次研讨会，以考虑 MFB 计划的进展（第一天），随后用一天的时间专门探索当前联邦机构的翻译方法研究以及研究重点的商业和翻译潜力（第 2 天）。本次研讨会的最终目标是评估 MFB 计划的翻译潜力，吸引商业部门的可能投资，并确定需要额外投资的其他技术领域。该研讨会定于 2024 年春季在华盛顿特区举行。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。
