Program description
The NIH Common Fund, with other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs), intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the Precision Medicine with Artificial Intelligence – Integrating Imaging with Multimodal Data (PRIMED-AI) program, which seeks to develop innovative, reliable, and cost-effective AI-based tools that integrate clinical imaging with other health data types to enhance personalized medicine for patients with chronic and other health conditions. The program’s Logistics Center initiative will provide administrative infrastructure through three integrated Cores (i.e., Administration, Evaluation, and Outreach) to manage the consortium’s steering committee, governance boards, workshops, code-a-thons, community interfaces, outreach, and coordination of teaming activities. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the U24 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into building and managing administrative infrastructure to foster communication and maximize program impact are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.

⚠️ Common mistakes
Submitting before the NOFO publishes and defines specific requirements and deadlines. Proposing administrative structures without demonstrated experience managing multi-institutional research consortia. Underestimating the complexity of coordinating across multiple NIH ICs and research teams.
