“Funding opportunities at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)”

The mission of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering is to improve human health by leading the development and accelerating the application of biomedical technologies. The Institute is committed to integrating the physical and engineering sciences with the life sciences to advance basic research and medical care. The Institute plans, conducts, fosters, and supports an integrated program of research and research training that can be applied to a broad spectrum of biological processes, disorders and diseases across organ systems. The Institute coordinates with other agencies and NIH Institutes to support imaging and engineering research to facilitate the transfer of such technologies to medical applications. Discussion topics will focus on the challenges of promoting computational tools to the non-computational biomedical researcher, changing the culture of NIH peer review, and promoting model and data sharing practices.
