NIBIB AND THE INDIAN DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
COLLABORATE TO DEVELOP LOW-COST MEDICAL DEVICES
Supplemental Funding Available for NIBIB-Supported Researchers to Work
With Scientists and Engineers from India
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB),
part of the National Institutes of Health, announced the availability of
supplemental funding for eligible NIBIB-supported research grants to
facilitate collaborative work among researchers in the United States and
India.
The grants will be used to develop low-cost diagnostic and therapeutic
medical technologies that can be used in underserved communities
worldwide. Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals for any
collaborative technology development or device that would be appropriate
in a low-resource setting, such as low-cost imaging devices or
point-of-care screening tests.
The supplemental funding, announced today at the U.S.-India Science and
Technology Joint Commission Meeting in Washington, D.C., is an initiative
between NIBIB and the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) of the Ministry of
Science and Technology in India. In October 2007, NIBIB and DBT entered
into a bilateral agreement to develop low-cost health care technologies
aimed at the medically underserved. In 2008, NIBIB and DBT held a joint
workshop on Low-Cost Diagnostic and Therapeutic Medical Technologies.
Approximately 60 scientists, engineers, and clinicians from the United
States and India identified leading areas of opportunity for improvements
in health care for individuals with chronic conditions in low resource
settings. As a result of this workshop, NIBIB and DBT are initiating
jointly funded initiatives that capitalize on the expertise and resources
of the two nations.
The collaborations supported by the supplemental funding will enable
investigators to develop medical technologies that can significantly
impact underserved populations within the United States and India. Dr.
Roderic Pettigrew, director of NIBIB, commented, "These supplements
represent an important step in bringing technologically advanced quality
health care to people in low-resource communities, both in the United
States and in India."
Applications for supplemental funding are now being accepted. Funding
amounts will vary and are limited to 25 percent of the direct costs of an
existing NIBIB grant. The funding opportunity closes on September 10,
2011. More information and examples of potential low-cost technologies can
be found at:
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-EB-10-002.html
To facilitate development of collaborations between U.S. and Indian
investigators, the NIBIB and DBT have established an online networking
group at LinkedIn.com:
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=2949818&trk=anet_ug_hm
Scientists, engineers, and clinicians with interest in appropriate medical
technologies for low-resource settings are encouraged to participate in
the Indo-U.S. Coalition for Low-Cost Medical Technologies LinkedIn group.
NIBIB, a component of NIH, is dedicated to improving health by leading the
development and accelerating the application of biomedical technologies.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) -- The Nation's Medical Research
Agency -- includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is the primary federal
agency for conducting and supporting basic, clinical and translational
medical research, and it investigates the causes, treatments, and cures
for both common and rare diseases. For more information about NIH and its
