Detailed
guidelines for proposals to the BME/RAPD program are found in the
Grant Proposal Guide NSF
03-2 and the Program Announcement entitled Biomedical
Engineering Program and Research to Aid Persons with Disabilities
Program (BME/RAPD) NSF
03-560. Biomedical Engineering (BME) supports research, often
with diagnosis or treatment-related goals, that applies engineering
principles to problems in biology and medicine while advancing the
engineering knowledge base. Integration of engineering expertise
with life science principles is an essential requirement for advances
in this field. The BME program emphasizes basic engineering
research that contributes to better and more efficient health care
delivery. The RAPD program emphasizes basic engineering research
that aids persons with disabilities.
Support is provided for
both unsolicited proposals and for special initiatives.
Some new areas of particular
interest are: biomedical photonics; novel tissue characterization
schemes; new cellular and tissue engineering concepts; the innovative
integration of multi-disciplinary technologies for new imaging and
biosensing systems, and home care technologies.
