MedTech I.Q.

The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

Colleagues,

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting grant applications to continue the NIH National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) program ...

... NIH has committed $62M to this program... The total project period for an application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed five years. Direct costs are limited to $2.33 M per year for a five-year period ...

... Increasingly, the most exciting science and the most fruitful scientific and technical approaches to biomedical and behavioral research require approaches that involve biomedical informatics and computational biology as well as experimentation. To meet the infrastructure needs of modern biomedical and behavioral research, the NIH has embarked on a long-term initiative aimed at deploying an integrated national biomedical computing environment. This environment will enable the analysis, modeling, understanding, and prediction of dynamic and complex biomedical systems across scales of time and space and will allow the integration of biomedical and behavioral data and knowledge at all levels of organization. All applications in response to this announcement will be evaluated primarily for the potential of the proposed activities to contribute to this long-term goal.

... Both existing NCBC and new applications for Centers will be entertained ... For example, a particular Center could focus on algorithms, software development and engineering, modeling and methods of validation, definition of hardware requirements, and user interface development to provide an excellent computational environment for one or more classes of biomedically important computing, such as:

Comparative genomics
Biomolecular modeling and simulation
Analysis and modeling based on high throughput experimental techniques
Image analysis, reconstruction, and validation methods
Heterogeneous data integration
Clinical trial management
Epidemiological analysis and modeling
Use of biomimetic principles in device design
Multiscale modeling and simulation of biological processes
Computational and information frameworks for integrating biological, clinical and behavioral data
Genome-phenome linkages

The above list is intended to be exemplary rather than exhaustive or prescriptive...

Letters of Intent Receipt Date: December 9, 2009
Application Receipt Date: January 8, 2010
