Description
The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for potential funding of Integrated Nuclear Medicine Research and Training Projects of Excellence to serve three important goals:
1. Research and development of new and highly innovative radiotracer methods and radiotracers as potential imaging agents for nuclear medicine research and application to advance the understanding of normal human physiology and gene expression, diagnosis and management of disease, in drug research and development, and in translational science;
2. Integrated involvement of postdoctoral fellows (Ph.D. radiochemists) and M.D., or M.D.-Ph.D fellows with specialties in Nuclear Medicine with applications to human health in developing and deploying new radiotracers for nuclear medicine imaging and potential clinical use in humans for disease-specific applications; and
3. Enhancement of training opportunities to ensure the future availability of human resources for highly specialized fields of radiotracer development chemistry and clinical nuclear medicine research and allied disciplines.
 
Applicants must have access to existing advanced facilities and an interdisciplinary collaborative team of radiochemists, synthetic chemists, biochemists and other expertise including physician scientists specialized in human disease- or disorder-specific nuclear medicine imaging, with the ability to support a robust research training environment. Institutional settings with easy access to nuclear medicine imaging specialties such as positron emission tomography (PET) and SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) are required and should offer broad ranging research collaborations from research and development of radiotracers to translation for potential clinical use in humans. For further details, refer to the provided supplementary information.
