PRIMED-AI: NIH Funding for Multimodal AI in Precision Medicine

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced the PRIMED-AI Data-to-Model Academic-Industrial Partnerships (D2M-AIP) opportunity. This initiative aims to revolutionize healthcare by bridging clinical imaging and multimodal data.

Scope

The overarching goal of the PRIMED-AI program is to develop innovative, reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable multimodal AI-based clinical decision support (CDS) tools. By integrating clinical imaging with diverse multimodal health data, these tools will enhance patient care across a wide range of health conditions and catalyze the clinical adoption of AI technologies (Topol, E. J. “High-performance medicine: the convergence of human and artificial intelligence.” Nature Medicine 25.1 (2019): 44-56).

Eligibility

This cooperative agreement (RFA-RM-27-012) is broadly accessible to diverse organizations:

  • Government entities (state, county, city, tribal).
  • Higher education institutions (public and private).
  • Nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status).
  • Businesses (small and large for-profit organizations).
  • Foreign organizations and international collaborations.

Partnership

This funding specifically encourages academic-industrial partnerships to translate data into impactful clinical models. Up to 8 awards are expected to be granted.

Deadline: October 19, 2026
