Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH)

Supports the development of transformative advances in computer and information science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, behavioral and cognitive research to address pressing questions in the biomedical and public health communities.

Synopsis

The purpose of this interagency program solicitation is to support the development of transformative high-risk, high-reward advances in computer and information science, engineering, mathematics, statistics, behavioral and/or cognitive research to address pressing questions in the biomedical and public health communities. Transformations hinge on scientific and engineering innovations by interdisciplinary teams that develop novel methods to intuitively and intelligently collect, sense, connect, analyze and interpret data from individuals, devices and systems to enable discovery and optimize health. Solutions to these complex biomedical or public health problems demand the formation of interdisciplinary teams that are ready to address these issues, while advancing fundamental science and engineering.

Award information

will be invested in proposals submitted to this solicitation in each year of the solicitation, subject to the availability of funds and the quality of the proposals received.

Estimated number of awards

10 to 16

per year, subject to the availability of funds.

Projects will be funded for up to four years for a total of $1,200,000 ($300,000 per year).

Proposals may only be submitted by certain types of PIs. Please see solicitation for details.

Limit on number of proposals per PI or Co-PI

In each annual competition, an investigator may participate as Principal Investigator (PI), co-Principal Investigator (co-PI), Project Director (PD), Senior/Key Personnel or Consultant in no more than two proposals submitted in response to each annual deadline in this solicitation. These eligibility constraints will be strictly enforced in order to treat everyone fairly and consistently. In the event that an individual exceeds this limit, proposals received within the limit will be accepted based on earliest date and time of proposal submission (i.e., the first two proposals received will be accepted, and the remainder will be returned without review). No exceptions will be made.

Proposals submitted in response to this solicitation may not duplicate or be substantially similar to other proposals concurrently under consideration by NSF or NIH programs or study sections. Duplicate or substantially similar proposals will be returned without review. NIH will not accept any application that is essentially the same as one already reviewed within the past 37 months (as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement), except for submission:

To an NIH Requests for Applications (RFA) of an application that was submitted previously as an investigator-initiated application but not paid;
Of an NIH investigator-initiated application that was originally submitted to an RFA but not paid; or
Of an NIH application with a changed grant activity code.
