Technology Development of Image-Guided Interventions: Phase I (R21): -This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Exploratory-Developmental (R21) grant applications from applicant organizations that propose to develop high-impact, disruptive technologies for image-guided interventions. As defined here, image-guided interventions (IGI) integrate treatment with imaging technologies at the point of patient care. The long-term goal of the IGI initiative is to produce disruptive technologies that will replace current treatments with minimally invasive, image-guided interventions. A disruptive technology is a new technological innovation that displaces the existing dominant technology. Examples of disruptive technologies include minimally invasive, image-guided procedures that replace invasive surgery or low-cost image-guided interventions. -This FOA is intended to support the first phase of a two-phase project that will deliver high clinical impact, image-guided interventions. Multidisciplinary collaborations and partnerships with industry are encouraged. In addition, development of multi-potential technologies that might have applicability across a range of clinical conditions is also encouraged.

Additional Information on Eligibility
Foreign institutions are eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government can apply. Faith-based or community-based organizations can apply. Research proposals that do not include both imaging AND an intervention will be considered non-responsive to this Program and will not be peer reviewed. Proposals must identify a clinical problem (or problems) that will potentially be addressed by the project. Proposals describing incremental technology advances will be considered non-responsive and will not be peer reviewed. The focus of the work must be on the development of the technology or methods NOT on the utilization or testing of the method in humans. Applications focusing on utilization or testing will be considered non-responsive and will not be peer reviewed. A one page or less, general outline for Phase II must be included in the research plan. Applications that do not outline Phase II in the research plan will be considered non-responsive and will not be peer reviewed. Applications must include a detailed plan for software sharing, as described in Section V, 2.D. The expectation is that the code developed as part of the proposed research will be shared freely. Applications that do not include either a software dissemination plan or the justification for that lack of such a plan will not be peer reviewed. Proposed components of IGI systems must be designed with open architecture and incorporate a non-proprietary interface to other systems. Applications should include a plan describing the interoperability of hardware and software. Applications that do not describe a plan for interoperability and the use of open architecture or provide justification for their use of a proprietary interface will be considered non-responsive and will not be peer reviewed. Applicants may submit more than one application, provided each application is scientifically distinct.
