ANNOUNCEMENT - JENSEN TISSUE ENGINEERING AWARD
TERMIS-AM is excited to announce the establishment of the Jensen Tissue Engineering Award - a gift from Dr. Ole T. Jensen, a world-renowned oral surgeon and innovative businessman. The Jensen Tissue Engineering Award has been established “to recognize an individual (anywhere in the world) for sustained scientific contributions, translational impact towards clinical realization and professional distinction in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.” Anyone from the scientific community can be nominated, but, in order to be awarded with this prize, that person must become a member of TERMIS and be nominated by a TERMIS member.
The award will be issued annually during a TERMIS conference (Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe or World Congress). The location of the award issuance will be dependent on the location in which the award recipient resides. The award recipient is expected to give a presentation and must attend the TERMIS Chapter or World Congress conference to be presented with the award.
During the respective Chapter Conference (AM, AP or EU) or World Congress, the recipient of the Jensen Tissue Engineering Award will be presented with a silver medallion and a monetary award of $25,000 USD.
Nomination Package Requirements
The nominator should provide:
- a summary of the nominee’s achievement(s) in the field of TERM (1-2 pages total), including how these accomplishments fulfil the Jensen award criteria,
- plus the nominee’s curriculum vitae.
- An individual cannot apply for the award.
Submission Deadline: 31st March 2022
QUESTIONS & SUBMISSIONS
Please send any questions you may have regarding the Jensen Tissue Engineering Award to the Executive Administrator. Submissions are due by 31st March 2022.

Staying connected in the tissue engineering community
VIRTUAL WEBINAR SERIES
The TERMIS-AM Membership Committee has formulated a list of webinars being conducted in the region.
Communication and connectivity within the tissue engineering community are critical objectives of TERMIS. Staying connected and up to date with research in the field is more important now than ever before. In addition to bringing you TERMIS chapter meetings, World Congress, and TWIG seminars, we have curated a list of recurring virtual webinar series from other institutions in the region in diverse topics relevant to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. If you are hosting a recurring virtual seminar series that you would like to add to the list, please contact matthew.wolf@nih.gov.

TERMIS-Americas Thematic Working Interest Groups (TWIGs)
The objectives of the TWIGs are:
- to give all members of TERMIS-AM an opportunity to participate more directly in the life of the society
- to provide support for programming in specific domains . this is important as the society grows in numbers of members and breadth of topics
- to provide an opportunity to learn the workings of a professional society with the goal of readying talented, motivated individuals for leadership roles in TERMIS-AM and TERMIS International
- to address new and emerging areas impacting tissue engineering and provide a platform to introduce these areas into our meeting

The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) is the authoritative voice and advocate for the value of medical and biological engineering to society. It is an organization of leaders in medical and biological engineering, consisting of academic, industrial, professional society councils and elected fellows. aimbe.org
AIMBE Student Policy Resources
AIMBE has launched Student Policy Resources students and trainees interested in getting active in science policy. AIMBE has put together a set of materials geared toward graduate students seeking to:
- Learn about science policy issues
- Look-up their Members of Congress
- Start a science policy group on their campus
- Arrange a public policy lecture by AIMBE Exec. Dir. Milan Yager
- Identify science policy trainings and workshops
- Learn about post-grad opportunities in science policy
- Follow relevant resources on Twitter
The Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM) is a Washington, DC-based multi-stake-holder advocacy organization that promotes legislative, regulatory and reimbursement initiatives necessary to facilitate access to life-giving advances in regenerative medicine. ARM also works to increase public understanding of the field and its potential to transform human healthcare, providing business development and investor outreach services to support the growth of its member companies and research organizations. Prior to the formation of ARM in 2009, there was no advocacy organization operating in Washington, DC to specifically represent the interests of the companies, research institutions, investors and patient groups that comprise the entire regenerative medicine community. Today ARM has more than 150 members and is the leading global advocacy organization in this field. To learn more about ARM or to become a member, visit www.alliancerm.org.
