This $2,000,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will provide funding for The Washington University in St. Louis to acquire a new 15.2-Tesla small-animal MRI scanner. This will replace the university's existing outdated 11.74-Tesla scanner, which has become unsustainable due to high liquid helium consumption costs. The new 15.2-Tesla scanner will offer significantly improved signal-to-noise ratio, spatial...
This $2,000,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will support the acquisition of a new FDA-approved 7T MRI scanner at Stanford University's Lucas Center for Imaging. The funding will replace an aging 7T MRI system that has become increasingly difficult to service due to the discontinuation of its cryostat design by the original manufacturer. The new Siemens 7T MRI scanner will provide enhanced imaging...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) under CFDA 93.351 provides $2,000,000 to Yale University to acquire a dedicated research Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Magnetic Resonance (MR) system. This state-of-the-art PET/MR scanner will enhance multiple research projects and training grants at Yale by enabling improved imaging workflow, multinuclear spectroscopic imaging, MRI-enhanced PET images, increased lesion...
This $2,000,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) under CFDA 93.351 supports the replacement of a 14T high-field vertical-bore nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer and microimager at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). The specialized MR imaging and spectroscopy equipment has been a key research resource enabling biomedical investigations across diverse fields, including cancer, neuroscience,...
This $2,000,000 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will fund the purchase of a new 3T Siemens Vida MRI system for the Pennington Biomedical Research Center (PBRC) in Louisiana. The state-of-the-art MRI system will replace two aging GE 3T scanners and significantly increase PBRC's capacity to perform human metabolism-related research scans, including studies on obesity, diabetes, cancer, aging, and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351 - Research Infrastructure Programs) provides $1,899,234 to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) to replace obsolete MRI and PET scanning equipment used for animal research. The award will fund a new integrated MRI-PET scanner with a 7T magnet, which will offer improved image quality, reduced operating costs, and expanded research capabilities compared to the...
This Project Grant award of $2,000,000 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) will fund the acquisition of a new 3 Tesla MRI scanner at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). The advanced scanner with high-performance gradients will enhance VUMC's research capabilities, especially for diffusion imaging and functional MRI of the brain and spine. The award will increase VUMC's MRI research capacity to support over 82 active...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) provides $1,722,700.00 to Yale University to acquire a state-of-the-art preclinical PET/CT imaging system. The new system will enhance preclinical imaging research capabilities at the Yale PET Center, supporting 19 NIH-funded investigators conducting PET imaging research across various medical disciplines. The award aims to replace an end-of-life PET-only system and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) provides $1,674,172 to Indiana University Indianapolis to upgrade their existing 3T MRI scanner to the advanced MAGNETOM CIMA.X FIT 3T MRI system. The high-performance gradient system of the new scanner will enable the university to pursue cutting-edge diffusion imaging techniques to better probe brain and tissue microstructures. This will enhance their...
This $3,800,000 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) under CFDA #93.351 will support Washington University in St. Louis' acquisition of a Siemens whole-body human 7-tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The high-field 7-T MRI scanner will provide enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution compared to lower-field 3-T systems, enabling more detailed brain imaging for 29 NIH-funded research projects at...
