Continued Development and Maintenance of Software: Biomedical research laboratories increasingly undertake a software development project to solve a problem of interest to that laboratory. These software packages sometimes become useful to a much broader community of users that can include translational and clinical researchers. The goal of this program announcement is to support the continued development, maintenance, testing and evaluation of existing software. The proposed work should apply best practices and proven methods for software design, construction, and implementation to extend the applicability of existing biomedical informatics/computational biology software to a broader biomedical research community. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon number, quality, duration, and costs of the applicati! ons received. This program announcement uses the R01 mechanism as well as supplements to existing NIH awards. Eligible organizations include for-profit or non-profit organizations, public or private institutions, units of state and local governments, eligible agencies of the Federal government, and either domestic or foreign organizations. There is no limit on the number of applications that may be submitted. Applicants must use the most recent version of the PHS 398 form. That form is available at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/forms.htm. Telecommunications for the hearing impaired is available at: TTY 301-451-0088.
