Advancing Bioinformatics, Translational Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Research (R01 Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) seeks applications for research projects that drive groundbreaking innovation and advanced development in the fields of bioinformatics, translational bioinformatics, and computational biology. The primary goal of this initiative is to support the creation and implementation of cutting-edge methods, tools, and approaches that can transform the landscape of biomedical data science. This research will ultimately contribute to improving individual and population health outcomes. • The NLM will support research in biomedical informatics, bioinformatics, and related fields of computer, information, and data sciences. • Applications that promote interdisciplinary collaboration and focus on scalable, autonomous innovations will be encouraged. • Projects may span a wide range of topics, including but not limited to omics-based bioinformatics at the molecular level, as well as computational biology studies at the cellular, tissue, organismal, and population levels. • Emphasis will be placed on research that exemplifies scientific rigor, technological innovation, and the potential for significant impact across biomedical and clinical domains.
