To amend the Public Health Service Act to estab-

and Bioengineering.
106TH CONGRESS
2D SESSION
H. R. 1795
AN ACT
To amend the Public Health Service Act to establish the
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bio-
engineering.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘National Institute of
Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Establishment
Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Basic research in imaging, bioengineering,
computer science, informatics, and related fields is
critical to improving health care but is fundamen-
tally different from the research in molecular biology
on which the current national research institutes at
the National Institutes of Health (‘‘NIH’’) are
based. To ensure the development of new techniques
and technologies for the 21st century, these dis-
ciplines therefore require an identity and research
home at the NIH that is independent of the existing
institute structure.
(2) Advances based on medical research prom-
ise new, more effective treatments for a wide variety
of diseases, but the development of new, noninvasive
imaging techniques for earlier detection and diag-
nosis of disease is essential to take full advantage of
such new treatments and to promote the general im-
provement of health care.
(3) The development of advanced genetic and
molecular imaging techniques is necessary to con-
tinue the current rapid pace of discovery in molec-
ular biology.
(4) Advances in telemedicine, and teleradiology
in particular, are increasingly important in the deliv-
ery of high quality, reliable medical care to rural
citizens and other underserved populations. To fulfill
the promise of telemedicine and related technologies
fully, a structure is needed at the NIH to support
basic research focused on the acquisition, trans-
mission, processing, and optimal display of images.
(5) A number of Federal departments and
agencies support imaging and engineering research
with potential medical applications, but a central co-
ordinating body, preferably housed at the NIH, is
needed to coordinate these disparate efforts and fa-
cilitate the transfer of technologies with medical ap-
plications.
(6) Several breakthrough imaging technologies,
including magnetic resonance imaging (‘‘MRI’’) and
computed tomography (‘‘CT’’), have been developed
primarily abroad, in large part because of the ab-
sence of a home at the NIH for basic research in
imaging and related fields. The establishment of a
central focus for imaging and bioengineering re-
‘‘(B) The plan under subparagraph (A) shall include
the recommendations of the Director of the Institute with
respect to the following:
‘‘(i) Where appropriate, the consolidation of
programs of the National Institutes of Health for
the express purpose of enhancing support of activi-
ties regarding basic biomedical imaging and engi-
neering research.
‘‘(ii) The coordination of the activities of the
Institute with related activities of the other agencies
of the National Institutes of Health and with related
activities of other Federal agencies.
‘‘(c) The establishment under section 406 of an advi-
sory council for the Institute is subject to the following:
‘‘(1) The number of members appointed by the
Secretary shall be 12.
‘‘(2) Of such members—
‘‘(A) 6 members shall be scientists, engi-
neers, physicians, and other health professionals
who represent disciplines in biomedical imaging
and engineering and who are not officers or em-
ployees of the United States; and
‘‘(B) 6 members shall be scientists, engi-
neers, physicians, and other health professionals
who represent other disciplines and are knowl-

(2) The Director of the Bureau of Land Man-
agement, or a designee of the Director who has sig-
nificant expertise in sustainable forestry
(3) The Director of the Office of Management
and Budget, or the Director’s designee.
(4) Two members who are elected members of
the governing branches of eligible counties; one such
member to be appointed by the President pro tem-
pore of the Senate (in consultation with the chair-
men and ranking members of the Senate committees
of jurisdiction) and one such member to be ap-
pointed by the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives (in consultation with the chairmen and ranking
members of the House committees of jurisdiction)
within 60 days of the date of the enactment of this
Act.
(5) Two members who are elected members of
