We invite investigators to apply for funding through our biomedical technology optimization and dissemination (BTOD) program (PAR-23-110). This initiative supports the creation of BTOD centers dedicated to optimizing and broadly disseminating state-of-the-art, mission-relevant, late-stage technologies to both experts and nonexperts in biomedical research.

BTOD centers are built around three tightly integrated components (refer to diagram):

• Technology optimization projects
• Driving biomedical projects
• Community engagement
