Description

The purpose of this FOA is to support the establishment of a Dissemination and Coordination Center (DCC) for the NIH Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium. In addition to this DCC, the Consortium will include four components (genome editing tools, delivery systems, animal models and biological assays) to produce validated techniques and knowledge through exchange of expertise, information and research tools. The DCC is expected to interact with other components of the SCGE Consortium to facilitate collaborative activities within the entire Consortium. The DCC will develop an online platform to facilitate information sharing within the Consortium, assemble resources (tools, methods, data and best practices) generated from all Consortium components into a genome editing toolkit, and disseminate the genome editing toolkit and other appropriate resources to researchers across the biomedical research community.
