What research resources and technologies will be critical in addressing these trend(s) and meeting biomedical investigators needs?
NCRR should continue to invest in developing, updating and supporting the use of imaging tools for integrative research (e.g., such techniques as MRI, NMR, fluorescent imaging, etc.) These tools make it possible to conduct non-invasive integrative studies in intact animals as well as humans over long periods of time. This will make it possible to investigate the evolution of common chronic diseases. Advances in translational research will occur more rapidly if greater emphasis is placed on making state-of-the-art imaging methods available to basic and clinical scientists. The NCRR should fund pilot projects for multi-disciplinary genomic-translational research teams. • The NCRR should create programs to promote research into how genetic, cellular, and molecular events impact intact animal systems. • The Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (BRIN) should be expanded to include training in whole organ and whole animal studies as one of the optional core elements. This new element w
