Synopsis

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for NIGMS Biomedical Technology Optimization and Dissemination (BTOD) Centers to support late-stage technology optimization and sustainable dissemination of the technology to the wider biomedical research community. A BTOD Center should be at the leading edge of its field with respect to both technology development and engagement with relevant research communities. BTOD projects should address biomedical research areas within the NIGMS mission. This FOA is an update of the funding opportunity for the Biomedical Technology Development and Dissemination (BTDD) Centers (PAR-20-104). Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with NIGMS staff about adherence of their proposed research strategy to the goals and mission of the Institute, whether it addresses one or more high priority research areas, and its responsiveness to this FOA.
