Validation Center for Precision Medicine with AI: Integrating Imaging with Multimodal Data (PRIMED-AI) (U54 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)

Because health is shaped by a variety of interconnected factors–clinical, biological, genetic, environmental and social–the Precision Medicine with AI: Integrating Imaging with Multimodal Data (PRIMED-AI) Program seeks to integrate clinical imaging with relevant, complementary multimodal data (MMD).  The overarching goal of the PRIMED-AI Program is to catalyze the development and adoption of innovative AI-based CDS tools into clinical workflows.  The PRIMED-AI Program initiatives collectively aim to tackle complex clinical challenges by fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration to create innovative, reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable AI solutions that enable precision medicine strategies.

RFA-RM-27-014:
To support the creation of a Validation Center to serve as a dedicated hub for the comprehensive evaluation and characterization of AI-enabled, image-based, multimodal CDS tools developed by the PRIMED-AI Consortium, to ensure these tools are reliable, reproducible, and generalizable. The Validation Center will focus on verification, validation, interoperability, and uncertainty quantification to comprehensively characterize performance of the CDS tools developed by the program. The core functions of the Validation Center will involve the systematic validation of PRIMED-AI Consortium deliverables, including those emerging from award recipients under the Playbook, Data-to-Model Academic-Industrial Partnerships, and Model-to-Clinic NOFOs.

Application deadline: October 2, 2026
