<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">I would like to call your attention to a new funding opportunity announcement, https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-21-011.html. This is a re-issue of the Smart and Connected
Health initiative, an interagency collaboration between NIH and NSF. While there are a number of great research opportunities in this announcement, I would particularly like to highlight a number of topics on the science of medical image perception.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Medical image interpretation is one of the seven “themes” of the program, and my institute (NCI) in particular is interested in: human visual cognition studies to: 1) Inform the development and
deployment of augmented reality, virtual reality, and/or 3D printing in surgical interventions; 2) Develop methods to mitigate or reduce inter- and intra-observer variability in cancer image interpretation, particularly for modalities with relatively high
levels of variability (e.g., ultrasound); and 3) Develop new methods to study human performance in large digital image sets (e.g., whole slide imaging, 3D CT/MRI).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
