MedTech I.Q.

The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

Colleagues,

... The National Institutes of Health (NIH) today announced awards that will harness the power of social networking to help scientists and students throughout the country accelerate biomedical research. The grants, totaling $27 million, are part of the $5 billion in NIH Recovery (Stimulus) Act funding...

... The same principles and technology that enable teenagers (and, members of MedTech-IQ) to instantly share updates and pictures with their friends also can help researchers connect, collaborate and share resources better and faster on scientific advances. All software developed in this project will be freely available to biomedical institutions in the non-profit sector...

... The awards to the University of Florida and Harvard University Medical School were made possible through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Stimulus Funding). The funding is administered by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), part of the NIH...

... The Harvard award will create a home where experts can share resources, and includes the following participating Institutions:

* Dartmouth College
* Harvard Medical School
* Jackson State University
* Morehouse School of Medicine
* Montana State University
* Oregon Health and Science University
* University of Alaska Fairbanks
* University of Hawaii Manoa
* University of Puerto Rico

... the Florida award will create a social network that will enable connections among the scientific community and create pathways that lead to others they know, and includes the following participating Institutions:

* Cornell University
* Indiana University
* Weill Cornell Medical College
* Washington University in St. Louis
* Scripps Research Institute
* Ponce School of Medicine in Puerto Rico
