NIH Research Project Grant

Advancing Bioinformatics, Translational Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Research

Funds new bioinformatics, computational biology, or AI methods that turn messy biomedical datasets into usable knowledge.

Biomedical data keeps outgrowing the tools built to make sense of it. This notice funds the tools, not a specific disease question.

The three named fields are bioinformatics, translational bioinformatics, and computational biology, and the goal is cutting-edge methods, tools, and approaches that transform how biomedical data science works. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large-scal

Development of novel bioinformatics, translational bioinformatics, and computational biology methods — including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and large-scale computational platforms — to interpret and integrate vast, diverse, and complex biological and biomedical datasets. A clinical trial is optional.
