The NIGMS Biomedical Technology Optimization and Dissemination Centers (BTOD) program supports optimization of late-stage technologies that have demonstrated laboratory feasibility. The centers will move the technologies to the point where they can be widely used and will promote their dissemination within the biomedical research community. NIGMS intends to reissue a Notice of Funding Opportunity to continue to support the BTOD Centers program.
