Annual Meeting of the NCRR/NIBIB Principal Investigators

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议继续举办NIBIB和NCRR P41生物医学技术资源中心主任年度会议。这个为期两天半的会议每年在马里兰州的贝塞斯达举行。NIBIB和NCRR的领导和科研人员以及NIH其他研究所的代表也参加了会议。出席人数一直保持在150人左右。P41位主任代表了全国70个中心，其中18个由NIBIB资助，52个由NCRR资助。资源网站有http://www.nibib.nih.gov/Research/ResourceCenters/ListState （NIBIB）和http://www.ncrr.nih.gov/biomedical%5Ftechnology/biomedical%5Ftechnology%5Fresearch%5Fcenter s/ (NCRR)。这些中心的科学家确保拥有美国国立卫生研究院支持项目的生物医学研究人员可以获得最新和最先进的技术、技巧和方法。这些中心的目标是通过所谓的技术研究与开发（TRD）项目开发新技术，这种方式是由生物医学研究人员直接刺激的，这些研究人员通过所谓的驱动生物医学项目（dbp）发挥作用，这些项目有独立的NIH资助。此外，它们需要提供技术使用方面的培训和传播技术。董事会议的目标是：1)向NIH社区（项目官员和研究人员）通报可以推进生物医学研究的新兴技术；2)促进中心之间的联盟和合作；3)向P41中心的pi和工作人员通报NIBIB、NCRR和NIH的战略举措。4)为首席研究员提供与NIBIB和NCRR工作人员互动的机会。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to continue the annual meetings of the Directors of the NIBIB and NCRR P41 Biomedical Technology Resource Centers. This two-and-a-half day meeting is held annually in Bethesda, Maryland. The meeting is also attended by NIBIB and NCRR leadership and scientific personnel, as well as by representatives from other NIH institutes. Attendance is constant at about 150 people. The P41 directors present 70 Centers nationwide, of which 18 are funded by NIBIB and 52 by NCRR. Resource websites are at http://www.nibib.nih.gov/Research/ResourceCenters/ListState (NIBIB) and http://www.ncrr.nih.gov/biomedical%5Ftechnology/biomedical%5Ftechnology%5Fresearch%5Fcenter s/ (NCRR). Scientists at these Centers ensure that biomedical investigators who have NIH-supported projects may gain access to the newest and most advanced technologies, techniques, and methodologies. The goal of the centers is to develop new technology through so-called Technical Research and Development (TRD) projects in a way directly stimulated by the biomedical researchers who function through so-called driving biomedical projects (DBPs) that have independent NIH funding. In addition they need to provide training in the technology use and disseminate the technology. The goals of the directors meeting are 1) To inform NIH community (program officers and researchers) on emerging technologies that can advance biomedical research; 2) Foster alliances and establish collaborations between Centers; 3) To inform PIs and staff of the P41 Centers about strategic initiatives within NIBIB, NCRR and NIH. 4) Provide opportunity for principal investigators to interact with NIBIB and NCRR staff.
