NIH Roadmap National Centers for Biomedical Computing
SAVE THE DATE: NCBC All Hands Meeting August 13-14, 2008 Natcher Conference Center The National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) are cooperative agreement awards that are funded under the NIH Roadmap for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The Centers are intended to be the core of the networked national effort to build the computational infrastructure for biomedical computing in the nation, the National Program of Excellence in Biomedical Computing (NPEBC). There are seven funded Centers that cover systems biology, image processing, biophysical modeling, biomedical ontologies, information integration, and tools for gene-phenotype and disease analysis. The centers will create innovative software programs and other tools that enable the biomedical community to integrate, analyze, model, simulate, and share data on human health and disease. Each Center has Cores that are focused on (1) computational science, (2) biomedical computational science and (3) driving biological projects whose intent is to drive the interaction between computational and biomedical computational science. In addition to the Centers, the NIH has a number of active program announcements to develop collaborations with the biomedical research community—this includes announcements from the Biomedical Information Science and Technology Initiative (BISTI) and the Program for Collaborations with National Centers for Biomedical Computing. There are numerous efforts in education and training that emanate from the Centers and there is an annual all hands meeting. The NIH Roadmap National Centers for Biomedical Computing are
National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics
National Center for the Multi-Scale Analysis of Genomic and Cellular Networks
National Center for Biomedical Ontology
The NIH Roadmap National Centers for Biomedical Computing awarded in 2004 were:
Physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures
National Alliance for Medical Imaging Computing
Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside
Center for Computational Biology
2004 Information Four new National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) will develop and implement the core of a universal computing infrastructure that is urgently needed to speed progress in biomedical research. The centers will create innovative software programs and other tools that enable the biomedical community to integrate, analyze, model, simulate, and share data on human health and disease. The centers, part of the National Institutes of Health Roadmap for Medical Research, were funded in September 2004. They are supported by 5-year grants projected to total more than $79.7 million ($15.7 million the first year). The National Centers for Biomedical Computing are the key programmatic initiative of the NIH Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Roadmap: http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/bioinformatics/index.asp. The full version of the news announcement is available at http://www.nigms.nih.gov/news/ncbc.html. The implementation team for the NIH Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Roadmap is given at http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/bioinformatics/members.asp.
Collaborations with National Centers for Biomedical Computing applications sought. This PAR (R01 mechanism) is for projects from individual-investigators or small groups to collaborate with the recently-formed National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBCs): http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-249.html. First application receipt date is December 20, 2006. This PAR (R21 mechanism) is for high-risk, high-impact projects: Exploratory Collaborations with National Centers for Biomedical Computing, PAR-07-250.
