Animal and Biological Material Resource Centers (P40)

Funding Opportunity PAR-14-005 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This FOA encourages grant applications for national Animal Model, and Animal and Biological Material Resource Centers. These Centers provide support for special colonies of laboratory animals, as well as other resources such as reagents, cultures (cells, tissues, and organs) and genetic stocks that serve the biomedical research community. The resource centers for Animal and Biological Materials collect, maintain, characterize, and distribute defined strains of animals and/or related biological materials to biomedical investigators in a variety of research areas on a local, regional, national and international basis. This funding opportunity is designed to both support continuation of existing resources, and to develop new ones when appropriate. Prior to preparing an application, all applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with Program staff to be advised on appropriateness of the intended resource plans for this program, competitiveness of a potential application and ORIP's program priorities.
