National Science Foundation Funding for Digital Twin Technology
Do you need funding for your cancer research work with digital twin technology? If so, check out this new funding opportunity from the U.S. National Science Foundation. This opportunity is co-sponsored by NIH’s Office of Data Science Strategy and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Read the full solicitation and submit your proposal before June 21, 2024.
This program, called “Foundations for Digital Twins as Catalyzers of Biomedical Technological Innovation (FDT-BioTech),” will award $4–5 million (depending on availability of funds) to fund 6–10 projects in digital twin technology in 2024.
As examples, possible projects might focus on:
- developing tools (i.e., mathematical, statistical, and machine learning) and workflows to help build true virtual representations of real-world physiological systems.
- devising new ways of verifying, validating, and assigning uncertainty quantification to assess digital twin technology and to predict how that technology will evolve over time.
- applying existing digital twin technology to other fields and areas of study (i.e., testing new medical technologies) and offering new ways of generalizing and transferring this technology.
- assessing the ethics, security, and privacy of digital twin ecosystems.
- validating and sharing digital twin technology.
