The multi-modal cross-scale biomedical imaging Facility (hereinafter referred to as the "Imaging Facility") located in Huairou, Beijing, is a national major scientific and technological infrastructure in the 13th Five-Year Plan period built by Peking University as a legal entity. At present, the construction has been completed and is about to enter trial operation. Imaging facilities with the world's advanced medical imaging, living cell structure and function imaging and high resolution molecular imaging system, with multi-modal cross-scale image fusion and analysis technology platform. The facility has an unprecedented ability to image vital organs and systems across the board (macro, mesoscopic, and micro), providing in-depth analysis and a panoramic picture of the structure and function of all levels, from molecules to living organisms.

In order to give full play to the supporting role of imaging facilities for major national research in the field of life sciences and explore a new research paradigm of organized scientific research, we hereby solicit project proposals from the national scientific and technological community, including the following three categories:

1. The Big Science plan. For the field and the community of scientists. The project takes organ tissue system, life phenomenon or disease process as the research object, with the characteristics of large volume, complex engineering technology, comprehensive innovation, etc. The successful implementation of the project will make the foundation work in this field, and produce extensive and far-reaching influence. The program helps Chinese scientists break new ground.

2. Lift plan. For individual scientists who have made pioneering, systematic and internationally leading work, they need to expand their research to a new height with the help of systematic and systematic support of large imaging facilities. This program helps Chinese scientists climb to the top.

3. Project cooperation. Priority is given to finding new ways to explore scientific "no man's land" topics, there are clear and specific scientific and technical problems, and large imaging facilities need to provide unique and systematic technical support. The program enables Chinese scientists to challenge disruptive problems.

Proposals should be no more than 3000 words and should be sent to jincailuo@pku.edu.cn. The scientific project Department accepts it at any time and pays attention to confidentiality.

After receiving the proposal, the Science Project Department will organize exchanges, discussions and docking. For selected projects, the Science Center will provide structured, all-round, full-cycle technical support and collaborative research.
