INGEN Reduced
Imaging Fee
Program
Program Goals:
The Indiana Center of Excellence in Biomedical Imaging (IN-CEBI) has a new program available to provide discounted imaging fees for genomics related research. As a result of funding and resources provided by INGEN, the IN-CEBI will offer a discount on technical fees associated with imaging studies performed in the IN-CEBI. The value of these discounted fees will total to approximately $1.3M over a period of 3 years. These resources will be allocated to individual investigators on the basis of the scientific merit of the proposed research project and the likelihood that the pilot project will produce sufficient preliminary data for the development of strong extramural grant applications. This discounted rate will not be applicable for imaging studies that are funded through alternative extramural funding sources. In order to be eligible for this discount, investigators will be required to demonstrate the relevance of their research project to the INGEN initiative. Current and future imaging modalities supported by the IN-CEBI include Positron Emission Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, X-Ray Computed Tomography, and Whole Body Optical Fluorescence Imaging. The available imaging modalities in the IN-CEBI can provide information about anatomical structure of tissues and organs, protein and enzyme expression, biochemical interactions, and the rates of physiological processes.

Award
The
resources awarded to individual projects will vary based upon individual study
requirements. The intent of this program is to enable investigators to acquire
sufficient preliminary data to support extramural grant applications.
Eligibility
Any research investigator
from any Indiana University campus whose focus is related to Genomics is
eligible to apply for these funds.
Students who are in training (undergraduate student, graduate student,
medical student, post-doctoral fellow, resident, medical fellow) are not
eligible to serve as the Principal Investigator of these proposals.
