NEWS & ANALYSIS
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), the newest of the NIH research institutes, was mandated by legislation that was signed into law in December 2000. According to the NIBIB, its mission is "to improve health by promoting fundamental discoveries, design and development, and translation and assessment of technological capabilities in biomedical imaging and bioengineering enabled by relevant areas of the physical, engineering, and computational sciences."
An NIBIB Web site can now be found at http://www.nibib.nih.gov/. The site provides information on NIBIB's structure and operations, and on activities related to biomedical imaging and bioengineering in general. Among the topics addressed on the Web site are biomedical imaging and bioengineering activities, articles describing breaking news and events realted to imaging and bioengineering, links to NIBIB research and training opportunities and NIH extramural grant information, and items of general interest to the biomedical research community—including reports, news articles, and links to other Web sites.
In addition, the Web site for the NIH Bioengineering Consortium (BECON), which contains information on BECON activities and funding opportunities, has been made part of the NIBIB Web site. The BECON consists of representatives of all NIH research institutes and centers as well as other federal agencies. Its site is intended to serve as a focus for bioengineering activities at the NIH.
