  1. NIH ROADMAP FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH RESEARCH TEAMS OF THE FUTURE

  2. Research Teams of the Future Goals • Encourage Multi- and Inter-disciplinary teams • Support larger, coordinated, resource sharing teams • Preserve investigator initiated strategy • Promote investigators to take creative, unexplored avenues of research

  3. Research Teams of the Future • High-Risk Research • Interdisciplinary Research • Private-Public Partnerships

  4. Research Teams of the Future NIH Director’s Pioneer Award Criteria: • Evidence of scientific innovation and creativity • Testimony of intrinsic motivation, enthusiasm and intellectual energy • Potential for scientific leadership and evidence of, or potential for, effective communication skills

  5. Research Teams of the Future Interdisciplinary Research • Planning grants for interdisciplinary research centers (P20 Centers) • Innovative training programs • Development of methodologies aimed at integrating behavioral and social science into interdisciplinary research

  6. Research Teams of the Future P20 Exploratory Centers for Interdisciplinary Research • Lower organizational barriers that impede research • Enable scientists to conduct research across disciplines

  7. Research Teams of the Future P20 Exploratory Centers • Increasing complexity of questions requires multidisciplinary research and interdisciplinary research • Combining aspects of individual disciplines to provide new approaches to solving problems

  8. Research Teams of the Future P20 Exploratory Centers—Examples • Behavioral Epidemiology • Integrate theoretical methodological and analytic aspects of economic sciences, population sciences, and behavioral sciences to develop a new approach to discovery and intervention in youth vulnerable to HIV/AIDS • Imaging Genetics • Draw from genomics, image analysis, statistics, and neuropsychiatry to improve diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and other brain disorders

  9. Research Teams of the Future P20 Exploratory Centers—Examples • Antimicrobial resistance • Integrate new disciplines to address the fast growing problem of antimicrobial resistance using novel new strategies developed by interdisciplinary research teams using long-term strategies • Obesity research • Integrate disciplines of neuroendocrinology, genetics, and lipid & intermediate metabolism, and clinical epidemiology to better treat and prevent obesity

  10. Research Teams of the Future Interdisciplinary Training Programs • New funding mechanisms • Support interdisciplinary work from undergraduate students through postdoctoral researchers • Provide foundation for diverse interdisciplinary scientific teams necessary for success of future endeavors • Include short and long term: • Training • Curriculum • Methodological development

  11. Research Teams of the Future Interdisciplinary Training Programs-Examples • Clinical Research Experience for Engineers • Undergraduate engineers engage in clinical research projects with clinical and bioengineering mentorship, • Regenerative Sciences Training Program • Biologists, engineers, and clinicians augment training via didactic and research experiences with focus on musculoskeletal systems • Clinical Biodetective Training • Trainees to develop novel methods for detection of disease states, markers of good health, and therapeutic markers

  12. Research at the Interface of the Life and Physical Sciences: Bridging the Sciences • Conference Objectives • To identify opportunities at the interface that could result in major advances • To develop approaches to bridge the sciences • Co-sponsored by NIH and NSF • Held at NIH campus on November 9, 2004 • For more information: www.nibib.nih.gov
