Funding Opportunity: NIGMS National and Regional Resources

Research resources provide access to technologies, methods, and expertise that are not generally available to individual laboratories. Large-scale research resources can significantly broaden access to cutting-edge technologies and can achieve economies of scale not possible for facilities serving individual institutions. We have just published a new funding opportunity announcement (FOA) to support national and regional (multistate) resources for biomedical research that will provide access to state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, technologies, research tools, and software to many users. We expect the impact of these resources and the number of users to be on a similar scale to what is achieved by synchrotron beamlines and cryo-electron microscopy centers. Resources eligible for funding must: Have been developed with previous NIGMS supportBe able to accommodate a regional- or national-scale user communityBe available to any qualified biomedical researcher, regardless of their focusProvide technical capabilities within NIGMS-supported research areas Resources should not: Require substantial technology research and development effortsReplace or duplicate institutionally supported resources or those supported by other NIH institutes and centers Existing resources that meet the criteria above may apply to this FOA. Alternatively, multiple, existing facilities that together meet these criteria can propose to merge to create a single resource eligi...
