NIH Roadmap for Medical Research

The NIH Roadmap is intended to be an “incubator space” for programs that, due to their cross-cutting relevance and/or complexity, warrant concerted attention from NIH as a whole. Consistent with its “incubator” function, the Roadmap stimulates research or the development of research resources with the expectation that the programs will either be completed within a 5–10 year timeframe or will transition out of the “incubator space” as they become integral to IC activities. It currently includes such areas as "Molecular Libraries and Imaging," "Bioinformatics and Computational Biology," and "Nanomedicine."
