The Bioengineering Research, Innovation and Technology Education (BRITE) Program is designed to foster the development of undergraduate freshmen and sophomores to pursue further studies and careers in bioengineering, biomedical imaging or other STEM fields relevant to NIBIB’s scientific mission. Applications are encouraged to propose integrated educational activities that include three elements: 1) a summer bridge program for incoming freshmen, and 2) in the freshman and sophomore years, educational activities during the academic year, and 3) summer research experiences. The BRITE program is intended to expose students to bioengineering and biomedical imaging and provide research, innovation and entrepreneurship training early in their college careers by incorporating didactic, experiential, mentoring and career development opportunities.

Student participants will receive support for the first two years of their undergraduate training. To enhance capacity for rigorous bioengineering training, this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will support programs at baccalaureate degree granting institutions with modest levels of NIH research project grant funding.

The ultimate goal is for participants to pursue a doctoral degree or a subsequent research career in bioengineering, biomedical imaging or other NIBIB-relevant field that will in turn have a significant impact on the health-related research needs of the Nation.

Partnership with Common Fund Data Ecosystem ResourcesThe NIH Office of Strategic Coordination through its Common Fund is seeking partnerships between Common Fund data programs and external biomedical data resources to improve the reusability and integration of Common Fund datasets within broader scientific ecosystems. The initiative aims to advance the FAIR principles—Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable—by fostering collaborations that bridge the Common Fund Data Ecosystem with other significant NIH data platforms such as the HEAL Data Ecosystem, BRAIN Initiative, Cancer Research Data Commons, ImmPort, TOPMed, and the Medical Imaging and Data Resource Center. These partnerships are intended to develop shared resources that enhance data connectivity, enable cross-platform analysis, and promote broader scientific utility of Common Fund data without supporting new clinical trials. The funding opportunity is open to non-CF biomedical data resources that can contribute infrastructure, tools, or expertise to amplify the impact of Common Fund datasets. Applicants must propose concrete plans for integration, interoperability, and sustainability of jointly developed resources. While no specific funding amount or deadline is indicated in the provided data, the solicitation was posted on August 6, 2026, and inquiries may be directed to the Common Fund Data Ecosystem Program via cfde@od.nih.gov. This effort reflects a strategic push by the NIH to unify diverse biomedical data ecosystems under common standards, enabling more comprehensive and efficient data-driven research across disciplines and institutions.
