The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded a $1,899,234 Project Grant under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) to replace two obsolete small animal imaging systems with a new integrated MRI-PET scanner. The project will replace a 19-year-old MRI scanner and an 11-year-old PET scanner with a state-of-the-art 7T MRI-PET system capable of simultaneous imaging. This will enhance research capabilities across over 30 NIH-funded projects spanning cardiac physiology, neuroscience, cancer, lung disease, bone disorders, and basic imaging science. The new scanner will be housed and managed within VUMC's Institute of Imaging Science and supported by an established team of imaging experts and staff. The grant has a performance period from May 15, 2025 to May 14, 2026.
