At a glance

This program funds National Centers for Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering to develop and share new biomedical technology for research and clinical use. It supports centers that include technology research and development projects, collaborative projects, service projects, training, and dissemination, and any clinical trials must be early-stage only, through Phase I and not later-phase efficacy trials. Eligible applicants include a wide range of U.S. organizations such as nonprofits, universities, governments, for-profits, small businesses, and tribal organizations; foreign institutions and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible. Typical direct costs are about $600,000 to $750,000 a year, with up to $500,000 for special-purpose equipment over five years, and no cost sharing is required. Awards are for up to five years, with total NCBIB support limited to 15 years, and the collaborative and service projects are expected to have national geographic distribution unless technology limits that.
