Biomedical Technology Research Centers

Biomedical Technology Research Centers (BTRCs) create critical, often unique technology and methods at the forefront of their respective fields, and apply them to a broad range of basic, translational, and clinical research. This is accomplished through a synergistic interaction of technical and biomedical expertise, both within the resources and through intensive collaborations with other leading laboratories.

BTRCs serve a unique purpose in the broad context of NIH-funded research. They represent a critical mass of technological and intellectual resources with a strong focus on service and training for outside investigators, as well as dissemination of technologies, methods, and software. Their goal is to promote the widespread and routine application of the cutting-edge technologies they develop across the full spectrum from bench to bedside.

NOTE: In October 2008, NCRR changed the name of its Biomedical Technology Research Resources (grant mechanism P41) to Biomedical Technology Research Centers. The new name better reflects that each facility creates critical and often unique technologies and resources to apply to a broad range of basic, clinical, and translational research.
