1st Open call 2024 for preferential access to the ICTS NANBIOSIS

NANBIOSIS opens in February the 1st competitive open call 2024 for its “Cutting-Edge Biomedical Solutions” and services.

NANBIOSIS is a research infrastructure for Biomedicine in which three cutting-edge public institutions collaborate forming a deeply interconnected laboratory network: CIBER-BBN, CCMIJU and IBIMA-Plataforma BIONAND. In addition, NANBIOSIS is part of the Spanish Map of ICTS (Spanish for “Scientific and Technical Unique Infrastructures”), approved by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades .

Our publicly funded facilities and internationally renowned scientist will help you design and test biomedical solutions to your heart’s content. We are open to all interested national and international users who may come either from the public or the private sector. You can apply to use our services in two modalities: under the “Competitive Open Access” (within two designated calls) or by “Access on Demand”, your choice.

To make that happen, at least 20% of the NANBIOSIS Units’ capacity is granted on the Competitive Open Access modality. The proposals granted under this modality will be prioritized according to criteria of scientific and technical quality and singularity. In addition, a 5% discount will be applied for those proposals that resort to at least one of our integrated services, the Cutting-Edge Biomedical Solutions.

There are 2 calls per year for Competitive Open Access that allow the prioritization of the best proposals. Click here to apply.

The next call will open on February 1st. The applications can be submitted throughout the whole month (due date February 29th). Access application forms submitted after that date will be processed under the “Access on Demand” modality.

Proposals granted in the Competitive Open Access modality must meet, at least, one of the circumstances listed in the access application form (“order request“), in order to demonstrate their scientific and technical quality or singularity.

Thus, for example, applications related to R&D projects funded through national or European calls are eligible. In addition, the proposals are required to use one of the NANBIOSIS Cutting-Edge Biomedical Solutions”. That implies the interaction of at least two of our Units, which can be modified to your specific needs.

NANBIOSIS Cutting-edge Biomedical Solutions

NANBIOSIS has worked with pharmaceutical companies of all sizes in the areas of drug delivery, biomaterials and regenerative medicine. Here are a few of them:

NANBIOSIS in the NEW BOOK of the Unique Science and Technology Infrastructures (ICTS)

We are pleased to inform that the new book of Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructures (ICTS) has been published by the Spanish Ministery of Sciencie and Innovation with the collaborations of the ICTS. You can download it download it here.

The Spanish Map of Unique Science and Technology Infrastructures (ICTS, in Spanish) , goups biomedical technologies, cleanrooms, supercomputers, advanced lasers, telescopes, underground laboratories, synchrotrons, particle accelerators, biological reserves, solar, oceanic and hydraulic platforms, oceanographic research ships, and polar bases in Antarctica. A total of 29 ICTS, made up of 64 infraestructures, allow for ambitious research projects that attract first-rate talent and enhance the technological and innovative industry capacities.

As Diana Morant, Spanish Minister of Science and Innovation says in its prelude “The Unique Science and Technology Infrastructures (ICTS), are crucial for the current country project around science and innovation that we are building together: administrations, research and technology centers, companies and society. I encourage you to go through the pages of this book and discover avant-garde facilities that represent the excellent scientific and technological capabilities that exist today in Spain.

NANBIOSIS in the new poster of ICTS map published by Spanish Goverment.

ICTS underpins the Spanish reputation for research excellence.

In the picture: the new poster of the ICTS map in which NANBIOSIS facilities have been highlighed

The term Unique Scientific and Technical Infrastructure (ICTS) refers to facilities, resources, or services for the development of top-quality cutting-edge research, as well as the communication, exchange, and preservation of knowledge, the transfer of technology, and promotion of innovation. They are unique or exceptional in their fields, with a high cost of investment, maintenance, and operation, and are of a strategic importance that justifies their availability to all actors in the field of R&D&I. The ICTS share three fundamental characteristics; they are infrastructures with public ownership, unique and open to competitive access.

ICTS offer an opening capacity percentage of their essential services under ‘Competitive Open Access’ for the use by national and international public and private sector researchers, with the support of technical and administrative personnel of the ICTS. Infrastructures access is ruled by a public “Access Protocol” that describes the procedure and criteria for access to the infrastructure. The main features of ‘Competitive Open Access’ are that R + D + i quality of activities developed at the infrastructure should be proven and that requests for access should be prioritized on the basis of objective criteria.

The dissemination of ICTS and their capabilities is essential to provide Spanish and international researchers with access to a large base of quality services and facilities, a basic requirement for the development of excellent science.

The new posster pushised by the General Subdirectorate of Large
Scientific-Technical Facilities of the of the Sapanish Ministry of Science and Research Innovation helps to disseminate and understand the map of ICTS wich are located throughout the country

NANBIOSIS, is one of the five ICTS in the field of Health Sciences and Biotecnology

NANBIOSIS renews its accreditation as Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructure (ICTS)

The Minister of Science and Innovation, Diana Morant, chaired the XI meeting of the Council for Scientific, Technological and Innovation Policy, in which the update of the Map of Singular Scientific and Technical Infrastructures, the ICTS Map for 2021-2024, was approved.

The ICTS are facilities dedicated to cutting-edge research of the highest quality, as well as to the transmission, exchange and preservation of knowledge, technology transfer and the promotion of innovation.

The map has 29 ICTS distributed among all the territories, includes NANBIOSIS, the Infraestructure for Production and Characterization of Nanomaterials, Biomaterials and Systems in Nanomedicine with its 26 units.

As a novelty, the update incorporates four new nodes or infrastructures associated with the ICTS. Specifically, the NASERTIC computing node in Navarra, the CIEMAT computing node in Extremadura and Madrid, and the Port d’Informació Científica data node in Catalonia are incorporated into the ICTS Red Española de Supercomputación, while the Center for Microanalysis of Materials is associated as a node to the new distributed Infrastructure of Applications Based on Accelerators. Likewise, Navarra incorporates an infrastructure to this map for the first time, an instrument that improves the management of ICTS and helps these organizations to access funding from the Ministry as well as regional and European funds, particularly the ERDF funds and the Recovery Funds and Resilience (MRR).

In this sense, the minister announced that the next call to strengthen the ICTS, scheduled for the first half of 2022, will allocate 38 million euros until 2025 to finance lines of investment associated with the construction, development, instrumentation, equipment and improvement of its scientific- techniques. The previous call, published in 2021, dedicated nearly 37 million euros to these infrastructures.

NANBIOSIS is one of the five ICTS in the area of health sciences and biotechnology. This thematic area has significantly increased its representation in the current ICTS Map. Under the concept of distributed ICTS, infrastructure networks have been established in the field of imaging, nanotechnology and omics sciences. In addition, the high biological safety laboratories are also reinforced, expanding the infrastructures of this type that offer their services.
