NIBIB Workshop on Future Research Directions

December 16-17, 2002

Bethesda Hyatt

A "Workshop on Future Research Directions" was conducted by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) on December 16-17, 2002, at the Bethesda Hyatt Hotel in Bethesda, Maryland. This meeting represented a "NIBIB Futures Workshop" and was aimed at obtaining scientific community input on where the Institute can make a major impact on healthcare or biomedical research in the next five to ten years. To meet this objective, participants were requested to answer two questions:

  • What are the highest priority research focus areas for the NIBIB to consider that are appropriate for its mission and support national priorities, and
  • What are promising emerging technologies or high-impact projects that the NIBIB can consider to address these focus areas?

A total of 50 people attended this workshop including 23 invited extramural participants with expertise in a variety of areas associated with biomedical imaging and bioengineering research, 11 senior NIH (non-NIBIB) bioengineering and imaging program staff from other institutes and centers, 6 observers from other agencies and societies, and ten NIBIB program and science administration staff. Workshop results for NIBIB consideration were based on input from the extramural participants and senior NIH program staff.

The following links include (1) the workshop agenda, (2) the list of participants, (3) individual slides and summaries of all slides used for participant perspectives on the research focus areas (Groups 1-3) and high-impact projects (Groups 4-6) breakout sesions, and (4) the detailed workshop report.
