Update: Seven National Centers for Biomedical Computing
National
Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) will develop and implement
the core of a universal computing infrastructure that is urgently
needed to speed progress in biomedical research. The centers will
create innovative software programs and other tools that enable
the biomedical community to integrate, analyze, model, simulate,
and share data on human health and disease.
Collaborations
with National Centers for Biomedical Computing (PAR-05-063)
This PAR is for projects from individual-investigators or small
groups to collaborate with the recently-formed National Centers
for Biomedical Computing (NCBCs). The intention of the collaborating
projects is to engage researchers across the nation in building
an excellent biomedical computing environment, using the computational
tools and biological and behavioral application drivers of the
funded NCBCs as foundation stones. The major goal of this program
announcement (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-05-063.html) is to provide the resources for a wide range
of biomedical,
behavioral, and computational researchers to establish new collaborations
with the NIH NCBCs.
