Purpose

The NIBIB and participating Institutes intend to reissue the current Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), PAR-13-137, to solicit applications for biomedical research and to foster the development of an innovative technology, model, technique, design, or method that has the potential for significant impact on biomedical research by infusing principles and concepts from the quantitative sciences.

This Notice is being provided to allow submission of AIDS applications as well as continuous submission applications for PAR-13-137 till the reissue.

The reissued FOA is expected to be published in May 8, 2016 with an expected application due date of June 5, 2016.

Research Initiative Details

The purpose of this upcoming reissuance FOA is to encourage collaborations between the life and physical sciences that: 1) apply a multidisciplinary bioengineering approach to the solution of a biomedical problem; and 2) integrate, optimize, validate, translate or otherwise accelerate the adoption of promising tools, methods and techniques for a specific research or clinical problem in basic, translational, or clinical science and practice. An application may propose design-directed, developmental, discovery-driven, or hypothesis-driven research and is appropriate for small teams applying an integrative approach to increase our understanding of and solve problems in biological, clinical or translational science.

APPLICATIONS ARE NOT BEING SOLICITED AT THIS TIME.
