To support projects aimed toward commercialization that are led by an academic-industrial partnership primarily focusing on novel data integration and/or new AI model development. The goal is to develop and de-risk novel AI technologies through collaboration, preparing them for future commercialization, adoption, and use of a CDS tool(s). [Deadline: 10/19/26.]

Supports 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. [Deadline: 10/2/26.]

To support the design, development, and preliminary validation of robust frameworks for the application of multimodal-artificial intelligence (AI) models for clinical use. Frameworks developed through these awards would populate a “playbook”, defined as a collection of actionable guidelines, standardized protocols, and/or standard operating procedures (SOPs) for reliable and effective development and deployment of multimodal AI tools. [Deadline: 10/9/26.]

To create a Logistics Center for the PRIMED-AI Program to facilitate and coordinate PRIMED-AI activities to maximize impact for the PRIMED-AI community. [Deadline: 10/2/26.]

To catalyze the translation of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled, image-centered, multimodal clinical decision support (CDS) tools, developed as Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), from training and testing of prototypes towards clinical applications that address unmet health challenges in precision medicine. [Deadline: 10/19/26.]

Supports investigator-initiated, milestone driven clinical trials that need enhanced oversight, and as applicable, include mechanistic studies. [Expires: 7/6/29.]

Supports exceptionally creative early-stage investigators who propose bold and highly innovative research projects with the potential to produce a major impact on broad areas. [Deadline: 8/17/26.]

Supports individual scientists or groups of scientists proposing bold, groundbreaking, exceptionally innovative, original, and/or unconventional research. [Deadline: 9/3/26.]
