Abstract: The creation of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) signaled recognition of the importance of bioengineering and the emerging field of bioinformatics to the Nation. The purpose of this high value program is to provide students majoring in the biological sciences, computer sciences, engineering, mathematics, and physical sciences with well planned interdisciplinary bioengineering or bioinformatics research and education experiences in very active BBSIs, thereby increasing the number of young people considering careers in bioengineering and bioinformatics at the graduate level and beyond.
