ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM

   2nd Competition Seeks Healthcare Info Technologies

   NIST has announced the second Advanced Technology Program
   competition in the area of information infrastructure for
   healthcare. An estimated $20 million is available for funding under
   this competition. Proposals are due by 3 p.m. Eastern time June 28,
   1995. Details of the competition were published in the April 3,
   1995, issue of Commerce Business Daily, and are available from
   the ATP office: (800) ATP-FUND [287-3863], e-mail:
   atp@micf.nist.gov (via Internet), or the NIST gopher
   (gopher-server.nist.gov). The technical goal of the program is
   to develop critical information infrastructure technologies to
   enable enhanced, more fully integrated medical information systems
   across the healthcare industry, greatly reducing costs and errors
   in handling medical information. This second solicitation focuses
   on technologies and tools that will underlie and enable the
   development of applications for distributed, heterogeneous,
   multimedia-based healthcare systems. Business goals are to gain the
   capability to develop products that will: reduce unit healthcare
   costs; improve quality of healthcare with higher treatment success
   rates and avoidance of complications; and capture global market
   share of new and improved products and services.
