History

IBIC was enabled by a grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust (Vancouver, WA), and funds from the UW School of Medicine, College of Arts and Sciences, and Provost's Office. IBIC was organized under the Department of Radiology, which partnered with Philips Corporation and the Department of Psychology to install a research-dedicated 3T MRI scanner, and recruited Dr. Grabowski as Director in 2009. IBIC was further enabled by an NIH ARRA RC4 award to Dr. Grabowski in 2010. Consolidation and renovation of IBIC programmatic space at the University of Washington Medical Center was completed in 2012.
