Abstract :
Summary form only given. Materials applications in biology and medicine encompass a broad range of spatial scales and clinical needs. At the cellular/molecular scale, tissue engineering offers significant opportunities for basic and applied research related to reparative and regenerative medicine. At the macro-scale, there is a wide variety of research needs for materials used in devices, implants, and prosthetics. The presentation will cover research programs and funding opportunities at the NEH for micro- and macro-scale materials research.
