National and Regional Resources for the Scientific Community

We’re pleased to share that the NIGMS National and Regional Resource Program (R24) funding opportunity announcement (FOA) has been reissued (PAR-22-065). This program began in 2019 to provide access to state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, technologies, research tools, and software that aren’t generally available to a large number of researchers. To date, the program has established 12 resources that serve the scientific community on a national or multistate regional basis and offer a breadth of technologies. Below, we highlight just a few. We encourage you to explore all of the resources made available through this program and to learn more about the new FOA on our National and Regional Resources webpage.   National High-Throughput Crystallization Center (HTX) Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute, University of Buffalo This center provides robotic instrumentation, advanced imaging technologies, and expertise in biomolecular crystallography for high-throughput crystallization. It supports scientific efforts, both on COVID-19-related projects and the crystallization of other targets. Once crystallization trials are initiated, they are automatically monitored for 6 weeks and users can access the results as they are recorded through the new crystal hunting software, MARCO Polo! NIH and the National Science Foundation subsidize academic, government, and nonprofit organizations with a fee-for-service of $400 per experimental screen of over 1,500 conditio...
