What it funds
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to enhance bioengineering and imaging research capacity, technology innovation, education and research training, and opportunities for scientific growth at Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs).The planned NOFO aligns with the HBCU PARTNERS Act (Public Law 116-270) and Executive Order 14283, which seek to strengthen capacity and competitiveness of HBCUs; align HBCUs with educational and economic competitiveness priorities of the United States; encourage HBCU participation and competitiveness for Federal research and development funding through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements; and foster public-private partnerships to promote centers of academic research and program excellence at HBCUs.Applications are not being solicited at this time. This Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the UG3/UH3 activity code. HBCUs, defined as institutions listed in 34 C.F.R. § 608.2, will be eligible to apply. Investigators with expertise in bioengineering, biomedical imaging, and technology development are encouraged to consider applying for this NOFO. Collaborative investigations combining expertise in bioengineering, imaging, and technology development with disease- or discipline-specific expertise in other areas of biomedical investigation will also be encouraged.
