<span style="color:#242424">The <b>Engineering Research Visioning Alliance</b>’s new report identifies research priorities at the intersection of biology and engineering that may shape the future of the biomedical engineering field in the years to come. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The NSF Engineering Directorate, led by Susan Margulies, set the course for discussions by framing three exploratory research domains at the intersection of biology and engineering:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This report casts the findings of this visioning event within the framework of the three domains above, using The 8 Impossible Things below as a device to inspire bold, new engineering research directions.
