On September 16, President Obama announced that his Administration will develop a National Bioeconomy Blueprint detailing Administration-wide steps to harness biological research innovations to address national challenges in health, food, energy, and the environment. Biological research underpins the foundation of a significant portion of the Nation’s economy. By better leveraging America’s national investments in biological research and development, the Administration aims to stimulate the growth of high-wage, high-skill jobs while improving the lives of all Americans. OSTP has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit input from all interested parties on how best to develop the National Bioeconomy Blueprint(国家生物经济蓝图).
The National Bioeconomy Blueprint will highlight Administration progress in this productive and promising scientific and economic arena and identify needs and goals, including:
· ·strategies to meet grand challenges in lean budget times;
· ·commercialization and entrepreneurship opportunities to open new markets;
· ·research and development investments in areas that will provide the foundation for the bioeconomy;
· ·enhancements of workforce training to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers for the bioeconomy jobs of the future;
· ·regulatory reforms that will reduce unnecessary burdens and impediments while protecting health and safety, and
· ·bioeconomy public-private partnerships to accelerate innovation in key areas.
OSTP welcomes your ideas and invites your help prioritizing approaches to building the US bioeconomy.

Development of a National Bioeconomy Blueprint: By January 2012, the Administration will develop a Bioeconomy Blueprint（生物经济蓝图） detailing Administration-wide steps to harness biological research innovations to address national challenges in health, food, energy, and the environment. Biological research lays the foundation of a significant portion of our economy. By better leveraging our national investments in biological research and development the Administration will grow the jobs of the future and improve the lives of all Americans. The Blueprint will focus on reforms to speed up commercialization and open new markets, strategic R&D investments to accelerate innovation, regulatory reforms to reduce unnecessary burdens on innovators, enhanced workforce training to develop the next generation of scientists and engineers, and the development of public-private partnerships.
