National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) invite applications from institutions that propose to establish new or to enhance existing team-based design courses or programs in undergraduate Biomedical Engineering departments or other degree-granting programs with Biomedical Engineering tracks/minors. This FOA mainly targets undergraduate students but may also include first-year graduate students. Courses and programs that address innovative and/or ground-breaking development, multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary education, the regulatory pathway and other issues related to the commercialization of medical devices, and clinical immersion are especially encouraged. This FOA will use the NIH Research Education (R25) grant mechanism.
