About this opportunity
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity to solicit cooperative agreement applications to enhance bioengineering and imaging research capacity, technology innovation, education and research training at Historically Black Colleges and Universities; a specific application due date has not yet been announced. Eligibility is limited to HBCUs as defined in 34 C.F.R. 608.2. The opportunity will employ the UG3/UH3 activity code and falls under Assistance Listing 93.286 (Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health).
The program encourages investigators with expertise in bioengineering, biomedical imaging, and technology development to apply. Collaborative investigations combining expertise across bioengineering, imaging, and technology development with disease- or discipline-specific expertise in other biomedical areas are particularly encouraged. The initiative aligns with the HBCU PARTNERS Act (Public Law 116-270) and Executive Order 14283, which aim to strengthen HBCU capacity and competitiveness for federal research and development funding and foster public-private partnerships promoting centers of academic research and program excellence.
Evaluation will follow standard NIH criteria: significance of the research problem, adequacy of conceptual framework and approach, innovation in concepts or methods, investigator qualifications and experience level, quality of the scientific environment and institutional support, appropriateness of budget and duration, program relevance, adequacy of human subjects and environmental protections, and plans for data sharing. This is a forecast notice; applications are not currently being solicited. Potential applicants are advised to use this advance notice to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects in preparation for the formal NOFO.
Forecast synopsis
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.
