About this opportunity

TEMPORARY NOTICE: Program Synopses Changes may occur after the close of the February 1 to March 2, 2009 Window-of-Opportunity.An additional CBET program may be added to the Biomedical Engineering and Engineering Healthcare cluster. This potential program may include topics such as: biosensing, imaging and food processing - - which are all currently handled by existing CBET programs.~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~The mission of the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Program is to * Provide opportunities to develop novel ideas into discovery-level and transformative projects that integrate engineering and life science principles in solving biomedical problems that serve humanity in the long-term * Advance both engineering and life sciences with biomedical engineering projects that are at the interface of engineering and biomedical sciencesThe BME program supports discovery research applied to biological systems. The BME projects must * Be discovery research * Develop novel ideas integrating engineering and life science principles in solving biomedical problems that serve humanity in the long-term * Focus on high impact transforming methods and technologies and include ¿ Methods, models and tools of understanding and controlling of living systems ¿ Fundamental improvements in deriving information from organ systems ¿ New approaches to the design of structures and materials for eventual medical use ¿ Information technology relevant to biotechnology including bioinformatics ¿ New novel methods of reducing health care costs through new technologies * Emphasize the advancement of fundamental engineering knowledge, possibly leading to the development of new methods and technologies in the long-term * Emphasize novel application of existing technologies to advance fundamental knowledge of both engineering and life sciences * Highlight multi-disciplinary nature, integrating engineering and the life sciences * Balance theory, mathematical modeling, and experiment * Advance both engineering and life sciences at the discovery-levelThe BME program supports projects in the following BME themes: * Neural engineering (brain science, computational engineering) * Computational modeling, multiscale modeling, biocomplexity * Cardio/pulmonary systems engineering * Gene and drug delivery systems * Cellular and tissue engineering (cellular biomechanics, genetically engineered stem cell differentiation with long-term impact in tissue repair and regenerative medicine) * Biomaterials and biomimeticsBME Program requirement: On the last line of the project summary page, the PI must write the BME theme(s) that he/she is submitting the proposal for. (Please check the list above to determine the BME theme(s) for your proposal.)Answers to frequently asked questions: * The Biomedical Engineering (BME) program supports discovery research applied to biological systems. * Integration of engineering expertise with life science principles is an essential requirement for advances in this field. * Projects submitted to the BME Program must advance both engineering and life sciences and be at the interface of engineering and life sciences. * The projects can have diagnosis or treatment-related goals in the long-term. The BME program does not support clinical studies. * The long-term impact of the projects can be related to disease diagnosis and/or treatment, improved health care delivery, or product development.The duration of unsolicited awards is generally one to three years. The typical award size for the program is $100,000 for individual investigators or $200,000 for multiple investigators per year (including indirect cost). Small equipment proposals up to $100,000 will also be considered and may be submitted during the submission windows. Any proposal received outside the announced dates will be returned without review.The duration of CAREER awards is five years.
