Part 2. Full Text of Announcement

Section I. Funding Opportunity Description

Examples of Research Topics
Applications should be relevant to the objectives of the funding opportunity announcement and to at least one of the participating institutes and offices' research interests. Researchers are strongly encouraged to review the general research interests of the participating ICs.

NIBIB is interested in supporting the development of novel Simulation Modeling and Systems Science (SMSS) technology solutions to address health disparities. The NIBIB is particularly interested in promoting the development of predictive multiscale models and modeling frameworks that have broad diagnostic, therapeutic and interventional applications in diseases or health conditions. Areas of interest include multiscale modeling to complement technology development in all other program areas of the NIBIB, such as medical device development and testing, rehabilitation engineering, surgical techniques, drug and gene delivery, tissue engineering, sensor and microsystems, synthetic biology, and biointerfaces, http://www.nibib.nih.gov/research/scientific-program-areas.

NIBIB will support applications that develop novel SMSS methods as technology solutions that can broadly apply to multiple domain areas. NIBIB will support an application proposing a single-domain if it is clear that the single-domain is an initial test bed for a model that could be applied to multiple domain areas. NIBIB will not support any applications that are solely using and not developing new SMSS methods.
