Archived: Webinar on Recently Released Funding Announcements: Team Science and Biomedical Technology Centers

By Peter Preusch and Haluk Resat

If you’re considering applying to the Collaborative Program Grant for Multidisciplinary Teams (PAR-20-103) or to the Biomedical Technology Development and Dissemination Center (PAR-20-104) funding opportunity announcements (FOAs), you’ll want to join our webinar:

Thursday, March 5, 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET

Both FOAs have receipt dates in May 2020 and both use the RM1 grant mechanism. However, there are significant differences between the reissued Team Science announcement and the initial funding announcement, and between the Biomedical Technology Centers and the former NIGMS Biomedical Technology Research Resource Center (P41) program, which is ending. During the webinar, we’ll provide an overview of the new programs, the process for accepting applications, and answers to any questions you may have.

To join the webinar, visit the WebEx meeting page (link no longer available).

NIGMS Staff Participating in the March 5 Webinar:

  • Jon Lorsch, Director
  • Judith Greenberg, Deputy Director and Acting Director, Division of Biophysics, Biomedical Technology, and Computational Biosciences
  • Peter Preusch, Chief, Biophysics Branch
  • Haluk Resat, Program Officer

In addition, other NIGMS staff will be available to answer programmatic, review, and grants management questions. Submit questions during the webinar using the chat feature or at any time by contacting the program contacts, Peter Preusch and Haluk Resat.

We look forward to talking to you about these programs. Slides will be posted on the NIGMS website following the event.

About the Authors

Peter Preusch

Until his retirement in December 2020, Peter handled grants on the biophysics of nucleic acids and nucleoprotein complexes and on the biophysics of membranes and membrane proteins. He also managed other programs in the BBCB division and served as the point of contact for the NIGMS Collaborative Program Award for Multidisciplinary Teams (RM1) and NIGMS National and Regional Resources (R24).

Haluk Resat

Haluk handled research and training grants in the areas of computational biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, mathematical biology, big data, and biomedical technology research resources. He also directed the Joint DMS/NIGMS Initiative to Support Research at the Interface of the Biological and Mathematical Sciences before leaving NIGMS for a position with the NIH Common Fund.
