Description

The purpose of this Common Fund initiative is to advance the application of cryoelectron tomography (cryoET), a powerful new method for directly visualizing macromolecular associations and organization in native cells. The two FOAs for this initiative will establish a national network of service centers that will provide these services to the community: collection of high-resolution cryoET data, cryoET specimen preparation, access for users to advanced instrumentation for cryoET, and cross-training in cryoET methods. This FOA, one of two for the initiative, will establish four service centers that will specialize in cryoET specimen preparation. The other FOA, RFA-RM-19-010, will establish a network hub that will support these service centers and collect cryoET data for them.
