National Institutes of Health

Description

-The National Institute of General Medical Sciences invites investigator-initiated applications for research designed to generate genetic tools and genomic resources that will enable researchers to exploit the full potential of novel or developing model systems for comparative and functional genomic studies. The typical organism to be considered should have a publicly available draft of the genomic DNA sequence with a minimum of 5X coverage. In addition, the organism should show promise as, or is, a model for basic biological, developmental, or behavioral mechanisms. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -Mechanism of Support: This Funding Opportunity Announcement will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Resource (R24) award mechanism. Investigators may request a maximum of $250,000 direct costs per year for up to four years. Grants will be non-renewable.
