Description of Collaborative Activity: |
An intramural Bench-to-Bedside Program was established in 1999 to integrate the work of basic and clinical scientists on the NIH campus and to foster collaborations across institutes. Since the program’s beginning, more than 500 principal and associate investigators have collaborated on 192 funded projects. The Clinical Center has coordinated the program for the past 13 years. Funding for the program is provided by ICs, the Food & Drug Administration, the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research, the Office of AIDS Research, the Office of Rare Diseases Research, the Office of Research on Women’s Health, the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, the National Center for Research Resources and represents a total investment of approximately $44M. The program expanded in 2006 to encourage partnerships between intramural and extramural investigators. |
