In Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging Center (ICMIC) grants bring together interdisciplinary scientific teams to lead cutting-edge cancer molecular imaging research in P50 center grants that last five years. The initiative focuses on human disease and exclusively supports translational research. ICMICs provide unique core facilities to support oncology imaging research, flexibility to respond to exciting pilot research opportunities, and interdisciplinary career development opportunities for the young investigators who will be tomorrow’s innovators. The program promotes coordination, interrelationships, and scientific synergy among research components and resources, leading to highly integrated imaging centers.
CIP is currently supporting eight ICMICs pursuant to a program announcement ( http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-04-069.html) that closed last year. However, CIP reissued a program announcement for ICMIC applications in spring 2006.
