Federal Grant Award Summary The National Cancer Institute awarded Brigham and Women's Hospital a $711,696 Project Grant under the Cancer Detection and Diagnosis Research Program (CFDA 93.394) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031. The award supports the modernization and modularization of 3D Slicer, a free, open-source software platform for advanced medical imaging analysis. The project will rearchitect 3D Slicer's core architecture into logical, reusable building block packages compatible with cloud, workstation, and browser-based applications. This restructuring will enable developers to deploy medical imaging tools across multiple platforms without duplicating efforts, thereby accelerating the creation and translation of novel medical imaging solutions for cancer research and clinical applications. The deliverables encompass three primary objectives: establishing a unified 3D Slicer foundation with modularized, cross-platform components; applying the modernized architecture to brain cancer image analysis software that functions identically on web browsers and traditional computers; and conducting comprehensive community engagement through workshops, online forums, and learning materials to support adoption of the improved 3D Slicer building blocks. By simplifying medical software development and enabling broader accessibility of advanced imaging capabilities, this initiative will empower the cancer imaging research community to more effectively develop, test, and deploy artificial intelligence tools and diagnostic solutions to clinicians and patients.
