  1. Flexible Adaptation of the NIH Organization Structure to Take Advantage of New Opportunities Wendy Baldwin, Ph.D. Deputy Director for Extramural Research National Institutes of Health

  2. Questions for this panel • How flexible should research institutions be for • refocusing/retraining? • How to encourage information exchange across • disciplines and institutions? • Would “mobile positions” or “junior professorships” be • useful? • What are the obstacles for international cooperation? • What opportunities for collaboration does the • information revolution offer?

  6. The Goal • To improve the health of the US public • By investing in the best possible science

  7. The Philosophy Fairness, Equity, Broad Access, and Structure

  8. The Process • Receipt of Applications • Referred to IC and Review Group • Assigned to Reviewers • Reviewed and Scored • Award grants, cooperative agreements, • contracts

  9. The Dilemma • What to do with a new opportunity that: • Transcends disease and organ system framework of ICs • Requires multidisciplinary expertise for review

  10. A Model: NIH Bioengineering Consortium (BECON) • Benefits all NIH ICs • Supports NIH Mission • Supports research in both individual • and collaborating ICs • Reaches beyond NIH

  11. Goals of BECON • Integrate physical, chemical or • mathematical sciences and engineering • Advance fundamental concepts • Create knowledge from molecular to • organ system level • Improve prevention, diagnosis and • treatment of disease • Improve patient rehabilitation

  12. BECON Members NIH-OER NCRR NIAMS NIGMS NIH-CSR NEI NICHD NIMH NIH-OIR NHGRI NIDA NINDS NIH-CC NHLBI NIDCD NINR NIH-ORS NIA NIDCR NLM NIH-CIT NIAAA NIDDK DOE NCI NIAID NIEHS NSF

  13.

  14. Bioengineering Research Awards • Fiscal YearTotal Awards ($M) • $412.6 • $501.1 • 1999 $697.5 • 2000* $771.2 • *Estimate * estimated

  15. BECON Symposia • Bioengineering: Building the Future of • Biology and Medicine • Biomedical Imaging: Visualizing the • Future of Biology and Medicine • 2000 Nanotechnology: Shaping Biomedical • Research • 2001 Tissuegenesis and Organogenesis

  16. BECON Training • Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Awards • Support Established Research to Train in • Biomedicine • Provide up to five consecutive 12-awards • NIH-Whitaker BME Summer Internship Program

  17. What’s next • Human Genome – Post Sequencing • Biomaterial – Prosthetics, devices, and • Replacement Parts • Therapy – Direct Drug Delivery, • Nanosensors • Telemedicine • Health Care – Noninvasive Diagnosis • Predictive Modeling – Computational • Capabilities and Biologic Data
