NIMH Neurotechnology Program
Overview
The Neurotechnology Program supports basic and applied research and the development of new technologies and approaches for studying the brain and behavior. These include software (such as informatics tools and resources, tools for analyzing data, etc.), hardware (including the development of instrumentation and devices). This research is supported through a variety of grant mechanisms, including R01, R21, and R33. Areas of Emphasis
- Tools for neuroproteomics research, especially those that produce data in the context of well-defined spatial, temporal, and conditional characteristics of the tissue examined.
- Tools, approaches, and activities that facilitate data sharing and allow for the integration of neuroscience, genetic, and imaging data and informatics technologies.
- Tools, methods, and techniques for demonstrating neuronal connectivity in humans, either in vivo or in post mortem tissue.
- Tools and approaches for non-invasive imaging of functional brain activation at millisecond temporal resolution and sub-millimeter spatial resolution.

NLM Independent Career Development Award for Biomedical Informatics (K22) (PAR-10-195)
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-10-195.html
Expiration Date: May 8, 2013
Purpose: The purpose of the NLM Independent Career Development Award for Biomedical Informatics (K22) program is to facilitate the transition of investigators from the mentored to the independent stage of their careers by providing "protected time" for newly independent investigators to develop and receive support for their initial research programs. The award applies to biomedical informaticians who are pursuing research in clinical informatics, public health informatics or translational informatics. Preference will be given to candidates who received their informatics training at one of NLM’s university-based training programs in biomedical informatics.
NIH Pathway to Independence (PI) Award (K99/R00) (PA-11-197)
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-11-197.html
Expiration Date: September 8, 2014
The overall goal of the NIH Research Career Development program is to help ensure that a diverse pool of highly trained scientists are available in appropriate scientific disciplines to address the Nation's biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. More information about Career programs may be found at the NIH Extramural Training Mechanisms website.
The objective of the NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00) initiative is to assist postdoctoral investigators in transitioning to a stable independent research position with NIH or other independent research funding. One of the most challenging transitions in any research career is the transition from postdoctoral trainee to independent scientist. Reports from the National Research Council of the National Academies of Science (Bridges to Independence: Fostering the Independence of New Investigators in Biomedical Research, and Advancing the Nation’s Health Needs: NIH Research Training Programs) have highlighted the need for enhanced efforts to foster the transition of postdoctoral scientists from mentored environments to independence.
NIH believes that the creativity and innovation of new independent investigators in their early career stages play an integral role in addressing our Nation’s biomedical, behavioral, and clinical research needs. However, the average age of first-time (new) Program Director/Principal Investigators (PD/PI) obtaining R01 research funding from the NIH has risen to 42 years for Ph.D. degree holders and 44 years for M.D. and M.D./Ph.D. degree holders. The intent of the K99/R00 program is to help alleviate this trend and to assist new investigators in transitioning to stable independent research positions at an earlier age and with an enhanced probability of success in obtaining independent NIH or other independent research support.
In addition to this initiative, NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) support a variety of other mentored career development programs designed to foster the transition of new investigators to research independence, which may be more suitable for particular candidates. Information describing all NIH Career Development Award programs can be found at the K Kiosk - Information about NIH Career Development Awards.
NLM Express Research Grants in Biomedical Informatics and Bioinformatics (R01) (PAR-11-208)
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-11-208.html
Expiration Date: May 8, 2014
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) offers support for basic and applied research in biomedical informatics. The scope of NLM's interest in the research domain of informatics is interdisciplinary, encompassing basic informatics problem areas in the application domains of health care and health administration, public health, basic biomedical research, bioinformatics and biological modeling, translational research and health information management in disasters. In most instances, informatics projects of interest to NLM involve the application of computer and information sciences to information problems in a biomedical domain. NLM defines biomedical informatics as the science of optimal organization, management, presentation and utilization of information relevant to medicine and biology. Informatics research produces concepts, tools and approaches that contribute to what is known about the capture, storage, integration, representation, management, dissemination and use of data, information and knowledge. NLM also supports research projects focused on biomedical (rather than informatics) research questions, but approached exclusively by novel or advanced informatics techniques applied to information and data produced by others.
The following basic informatics problem areas demonstrate the scope of NLM's research interests:
- Information & knowledge processing, including understanding, translation or summarization of natural language in real-time or near real-time, integration of information from heterogeneous sources
* Advanced information retrieval, knowledge discovery in databases, discovery mining, and other techniques for in silico discovery and research including approaches for accelerating the linkage of phenomic and genomic information
* Incorporation of machine intelligence into decision tools and resources for health care providers, scientists and consumers
* Information Visualization and presentation approaches to enhance decisions, learning or understanding
* Innovative approaches for ensuring privacy and security of clinical and biomedical research data
Examples of application domains for these informatics problem areas include, but are not limited to:
- Health Care; Public Health and Health Services Research; Disaster Information Management;
* Basic Biological, Social and Behavioral Research;
* Multi-level computational models of biological and clinical processes;
* Translational Research that supports (1) uses of data in electronic health records to support biomedical research and (2) translation of biomedical research outcomes through application to problems in clinical care
* Information Sciences; simulation, user customization, virtual environments or innovative information techniques
Informatics research may be done by individual investigators or by teams. NLM expects that investigators will employ scientifically-defensible research techniques that lead to sound empirical evidence. These techniques may include quantitative and qualitative approaches, including laboratory and field studies, needs assessment, in silico experiments, simulation studies and other advanced approaches. Although biomedical informatics research routinely involves data from health care and biology, the majority of projects funded by NLM will undertake research that advances science in the field of informatics.
NLM places a high priority on innovation in the research it supports. While informatics research often involves software development and tool-building, a well-defined research problem and rigorous research design based on preliminary studies are essential elements of any application to NLM's research grant program. Projects to extend capabilities of an existing software tool are only considered fundable if the new capability is highly innovative in its approach. Investigators interested in demonstrating proof of concept for advanced topics should consider NIH Exploratory Developmental Research Grant (Parent R21) http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-10-069.html. NLM does not support continued development of existing software tools or knowledge resources.
Potential applicants are strongly urged to discuss their proposed project with one of the program officers listed below for advice about the application process and suitability of the project for funding by NLM. NLM will not generally accept informatics projects in problem domains for which adequate funding opportunities are offered by other Institutes or Agencies.
