Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Inter-agency Modeling and Analysis Group (IMAG) is comprised of program directors from nine government agencies in the U.S. including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Science Foundation (NSF), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Veterans Administration (VA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). The purpose of IMAG is to bring together program officers who have a shared interest in supporting modeling and analysis methods in biomedical, biological and behavioral systems. IMAG has promoted and supported a wide variety of modeling, notably the multi-scale modeling (MSM) initiative, which was originally a multi-agency funding opportunity announcement and continued on by various IMAG agencies through other funding opportunity announcements. The most recent multi-agency funding opportunity was issued in 2015 and expires in 2018. IMAG is planning a tenth anniversary consortium meeting in March 2017. |
