National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Program Project (P01) Applications

archived

Purpose. This FOA, issued by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), National Insitutes of Health, encourages investigator-initiated Program Project Grant (P01) applications from institutions/organizations in the broad areas of biomedical imaging and bioengineering enabled by relevant areas of the physical sciences, engineering, computer sciences, information science, and the medical and life sciences. P01 grants are to support broad-based multidisciplinary research programs, which have a well-defined major objective or central theme, but which are addressing a range of imaging or bioengineering questions in contrast to the traditional research project (R01). Proposed program projects may address any of the broad areas of imaging and bioengineering research supported by the Institute. A description of the NIBIB scientific program areas can be found at http://www.nibib1.nih.gov/Research/ProgramAreas. Mechanism of Support. This FOA supports the NIH Program Project (P01) grant mechanism. The P01 mechanism is designed for research in which the funding of several independent projects as a group offers significant scientific advantages over support of the same projects as individual research grants. An NIBIB P01 application requires a minimum of three interrelated research projects and the component projects must share a common central theme, focus, and overall objective. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
