National Institutes of Health

Description

The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support important legacy resources developed as a result of NIGMS research activities that are central to the mission of NIGMS and demonstrate a high value to a community of researchers that NIGMS supports, but are no longer eligible for support under their original initiatives.It is also expected that these resources are not supportable by other Institutes'/Centers funding opportunity announcements, and not yet self-sustaining or ready for commercialization. A resource is a non-hypothesis-driven activity to provide data, materials, tools, or services that are essential to making the most timely, high quality, and cost-efficient progress in a field.Additionally, a resource should be available to any qualified investigator. This funding opportunity is designed to support continuation of existing resources, not to develop new ones.The support requested must be for funding of maintenance activities only, and not for research activities.Under this limited pilot, only NIGMS-sponsored "legacy" resources that cannot be renewed under their initial funding activity are eligible for support for up to three years, while plans to transition to a more permanent form of support are implemented.
