Who We Are
Our mission is to transform, through technology development, our understanding of disease and its prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment. NIBIB’s unique role as a leader in the development of urgently needed enabling technologies benefits all of NIH and the broader biomedical community.
What We Do
We support biomedical imaging and engineering research throughout the country and abroad and train the next generation of interdisciplinary researchers. We also conduct research in our internationally recognized intramural research labs on the NIH campus.
NIBIB’s 2024-2028 Strategic Plan outlines the priorities and research focus areas that will guide our investments toward improving human health.
NIBIB’s budget is based on the fiscal year appropriation provided by Congress and signed into law by the President. A key component of the annual budget process is the development of the President’s Budget, which is presented to Congress in the form of the Congressional Justification (CJ). See NIBIB’s most recent and past CJs.
NIBIB develops and maintains a range of programs and activities to increase and support diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility at NIBIB and throughout the biomedical research community.
NIBIB was established on December 29, 2000. See a timeline of key events and accomplishments since the institute’s inception.
