Description

Purpose. This funding opportunity addresses a critical need for biologically relevant carbohydrate libraries; means to functionalize and link carbohydrates; efficient high-throughput screening tools for exploring glycan-protein, and glycan-lipid interactions; and carbohydrate standards necessary for use in the structural analysis of biologically relevant glycans.Applications are therefore sought for development of new, rapid and cost-effective chemical methodologies that will speed access to: specialized glycan reagents; carbohydrate libraries and structural standards for the emerging field of glycomics; and facilitate the development of tools necessary to understand glycan function in human biology and disease. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH research project R01 grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The total amount of funding that NIGMS expects to award through this announcement is $2,000,000; five awards are anticipated.
