Team Grant: Clinical Imaging - Letter of Intent Review

The Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health in partnership with The Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (Tekes) are pleased to announce the results of the Letter of Intent (LOI) review for the "Team Grant: Clinical Imaging" Funding Opportunity.

The purpose of this new funding opportunity is to build upon the existing Canadian and International strengths in basic and clinical imaging research by identifying and exploring new ways in the development, application and assessment of imaging technologies and imaging biomarkers. In particular, this initiative seeks to address the critical steps between technology development and clinical implementation. The overall aim of this program is to build an integrated platform which will bring together strengths in imaging technology development and molecular targeting strategies, with the design and implementation of cutting-edge, methodologically sound, policy-relevant outcome trials that specifically examine the innovative but appropriate applications of new clinical imaging technologies. Moreover, it is anticipated that this program will encourage the identification of novel non-invasive imaging strategies, and imaging biomarkers reflecting disease pathophysiology, demonstration of their potential through clinical implementation, and evaluation of their diagnostic and prognostic utility and cost-benefit in an objective and scientifically robust manner.

A total of 11 letters of intent were submitted to the competition and 8 teams have been invited to submit full applications.
