Biomedical Technology Optimization and Dissemination Center (BTOD)
Funds late-stage optimization of a biomedical research technology and building sustainable ways to share it with the wider research community.
A technique that works in the lab that invented it is not the same as one any other lab can pick up and run well. This notice funds closing exactly that gap.
What is funded is a Biomedical Technology Optimization and Dissemination (BTOD) Center: late-stage optimization of a biomedical research technology, plus a sustainable way of getting that technology into the hands of the wider research commu…
Late-stage optimization and sustainable dissemination of a biomedical research technology to the wider biomedical research community, within the National Institute of General Medical Sciences mission, through a Biomedical Technology Optimization and Dissemination Center at the leading edge of both technology development and community engagement. Clinical trials are not allowed.
