Description
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) at NIH intends to launch a funding opportunity for Technology Development Network Coordinating Centers. These centers will unite scientific and engineering communities to address translational challenges in biomedical technology. The Coordinating Centers will:
- Facilitate collaboration across technology development projects.
- Enhance integration between network components.
- Disseminate program advances and develop outreach strategies for the broader biomedical research community.
- Manage an Opportunity Funds program to rapidly support promising, small-scale translational technology projects.
This notice is provided to allow researchers time to form collaborations and prepare responsive projects. The official Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will use the U24 cooperative agreement mechanism. Forecasts for specific Technology Development Centers may follow.
