Description

The National Institute of General Medical Sciences is soliciting applications for Biomedical Technology Optimization and Dissemination (BTOD) Centers under funding opportunity PAR-27-024. Proposed centers must optimize late-stage technologies that are operational in specialized laboratories but require further refinement for broad use, and disseminate the resulting technologies to the biomedical research community. Eligible technology areas include analytical biochemistry, chemical biology, high-throughput biochemical methods, advanced spatial omics, structural biology, imaging, molecular biology, cell manipulation, computational methods, and modeling of molecular and biological systems. Each center must integrate Technology Optimization Projects, Driving Biomedical Projects that test and refine the technologies through collaborations, and Community Engagement activities such as training, workshops, web-based tutorials, outreach, commercialization, licensing, and distribution of tools or software. Applications may request up to $850,000 in annual direct costs, excluding equipment and consortium facilities and administrative costs; specialized equipment may be requested above that limit with justification. The maximum project period is five years, and the same technology may receive no more than 15 total years of NIGMS support across applicable predecessor programs. Clinical trials are not allowed.
