Announcements

NIH Data Commons Pilot Phase OT3

The purpose of the announcement is to invite applications from applicants who have an interest in performing high impact, cutting-edge scientific and computing activities necessary to establish an NIH Data Commons. The goal of the NIH Data Commons is to accelerate new biomedical discoveries by providing a cloud-based platform where investigators can store, share, access, and compute on digital objects (data, software, etc.) generated from biomedical research and perform novel scientific research including hypothesis generation, discovery, and validation. Applicants are encouraged to develop innovative approaches to one or more key computational, data, analytical and scientific capabilities of the Data Commons. These key capabilities are described in detail in the announcement.

Awards under Research Opportunity Announcement RM-17-026 will made using Other Transactions (OTs), which are not grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts. It is essential applicants carefully follow the instructions in the announcement as they likely will be different from what they are used to seeing.

 

Letters of Intent (LOIs) are required, and are due June 30, 2017 (5:00 PM United States Eastern Time).  LOIs will be used to select individuals or groups who will be invited to submit an application by July 12. Only those who are invited may apply. Applications submitted without an invitation from the NIH will be returned and not reviewed. NIH expects to make several OT awards under this announcement. The planned budget for this announcement is $21 million over a 4-year period.

 

Inquiries about RM-17-026 should be directed to: commonspilot@od.nih.gov.

Administrative Supplements to NIBIB Grants: Technologies to Catalyze New Discoveries in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias

The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), in partnership with the National Institute on Aging (NIA), announces an opportunity for NIBIB-supported investigators to request administrative supplements to develop new tools, technologies and approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and understanding of Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's-disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). These supplements will be funded by NIA as part of the NIA strategic plan to support the development of innovative strategies to prevent, diagnose and treat AD/ADRD.

Administrative supplement requests should be submitted to PA-16-287, Administrative Supplements to Existing NIH Grants and Cooperative Agreements https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-16-287.html. The requested supplemental budget cannot exceed $100,000 in direct costs for up to 12 months. The project and budget periods of the supplement request must be within the currently approved project period for the existing parent award.

Supplements will be considered for active NIBIB-funded projects that may have important application in AD/ADRD. Administrative supplements may be awarded to meet increased costs that are within the scope of the approved award, but were unforeseen when the application was submitted. For the purposes of this Notice, "within scope" may include the addition of an AD/ADRD-relevant component to a project employing or developing a broadly applicable technology. Applicants are strongly encouraged to discuss the aims of the proposed work with the NIBIB program officer assigned to the parent grant to assess suitability for this funding opportunity.

Requests must be received by July 3, 2017.

MSM Meetings

12th User Training Workshop: Developing Multi-Scale, Virtual Tissue Simulations with CompuCell3D

Background: Mechanistic modeling is an integral part of contemporary bioscience, used for hypothesis generation and testing, experiment design and interpretation and the design of therapeutic interventions. The CompuCell3D modeling environment allow researchers with modest programing experience to rapidly learn to build and execute complex Virtual Tissue simulations of development, homeostasis, toxicity and disease in tissues, organs and organisms, covering sub-cellular, multi-cell and continuum tissue scales.

Meeting Date:
Sunday, July 30, 2017 to Friday, August 4, 2017
Meeting Location:
Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA
