Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Inter-agency Modeling and Analysis Group (IMAG) is comprised of program directors from over 10 government agencies in the US 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 Affairs (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 supplemented by various IMAG agencies through other funding opportunity announcements. In 2018 IMAG held a "2018 IMAG Futures Meeting: Moving Forward with the MSM Consortium." The MSM workshop is being held in March 2019. Publications from the last FOA are available on the IMAG wiki page and a new FOA has just been issued, "Medical Simulators for Practicing Patient Care Providers Skill Acquisition, Outcomes Assessment and Technology Development (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) (PA-19-065)." |
