DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to establish the "Center for Integrative Biomedical Computing" and, through its work, to address important biomedical research problems in bioelectric fields, imaged-based anatomy, multi-scale tissue modeling and simulation, and scientific visualization. We will accomplish this by utilizing state-of-the-art computational techniques and innovative, well-engineered software, which, used in combination, will significantly advance biomedical computing research. For the renewal of this NCRR center, we propose an exciting combination of research and development aims built upon the successes of the previous investments and driven by compelling new biomedical problems. The proposed NCRR Center will expand in ways that will expand in ways that will build on and enhance the strengths of the existing center. We will continue to develop integrated problem-solving environments that make advanced computational tools available to biomedical scientists. We will also continue to pursue advanced research in technical and biophysical approaches to bioelectric field problems in cardiology and neurology. With our interdisciplinary faculty members, we will continue to educate and train researchers to engage in biomedical computing, imaging, and visualization. In response to increasing requests from the field, we have greatly extended the number of Center collaborators. We will manage these collaborations through a "life cycle", beginning with initial discussions and evaluation of potential and proceeding through fruitful scientific and technological collaborations to, in some cases, separately funded research. We have assembled a team of first-rate bioengineers and computer scientists with proven track records in performing world-class research in biomedical computing, visualization, and imaging as well as in biomedical science. This team will bring to the Center the necessary experience and expertise to continue to create robust software and deliver it to the biomedical research community. We are confident that the proposed Center will be a significant force in taking biomedical computing, imaging, and visualization to new levels of sophistication and to widespread use.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议建立“集成生物医学计算中心”，并通过其工作解决生物电场，基于图像的解剖学，多尺度组织建模和模拟以及科学可视化等重要生物医学研究问题。我们将通过利用最先进的计算技术和创新的、精心设计的软件来实现这一目标，这些技术结合使用，将大大推进生物医学计算研究。对于这个NCRR中心的更新，我们提出了一个令人兴奋的研究和开发目标的结合，建立在以前的投资的成功和引人注目的新的生物医学问题的驱动。拟议的NCRR中心将以建立和增强现有中心优势的方式进行扩展。我们将继续开发集成的解决问题的环境，使先进的计算工具提供给生物医学科学家。我们还将继续追求先进的研究技术和生物物理方法，以解决心脏病学和神经病学中的生物电场问题。 与我们的跨学科教师，我们将继续教育和培训研究人员从事生物医学计算，成像和可视化。为了满足外地日益增加的要求，我们大大增加了中心合作者的人数。我们将通过一个“生命周期”来管理这些合作，从初步讨论和潜力评估开始，通过富有成效的科学和技术合作，在某些情况下，单独资助的研究。 我们组建了一支由一流的生物工程师和计算机科学家组成的团队，他们在生物医学计算，可视化和成像以及生物医学科学方面的世界级研究方面拥有良好的记录。该团队将为中心带来必要的经验和专业知识，以继续创建强大的软件并将其交付给生物医学研究界。我们相信，拟议中的中心将是一个重要的力量，在采取生物医学计算，成像和可视化的复杂性和广泛使用的新水平。
