Description

The Common Fund Program - Accelerating Translation of Glycoscience: Integration and Accessibility - aims to develop accessible and affordable new tools and technologies for studying carbohydrates that will enable researchers in all biomedical fields to dramatically advance our understanding of the roles of these complex molecules in health and disease and to not abandon glycan discovery due to the difficulty or inability to study them. The program will invest in three areas: facile methods and technologies for carbohydrate synthesis, accessible tools for probing and analyzing carbohydrates, and carbohydrate data integration and analysis tools. This R34 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications for preliminary research and formation of research teams that will lay the groundwork for the inclusive, community-driven development of accessible resources for integration and analysis of carbohydrate and glycoconjugate structural, analytical, and interaction data in the context of comparable gene, protein, and lipid data. A subsequent FOA will invite applications for full support of that effort.
