Novel Assays for Screening the Effects of Chemical Toxicants on Cell Differentiation (SBIR R44)
Funding Opportunity RFA-ES-17-007 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) to develop medium- to high-throughput assays to evaluate the effects of toxicants on pluripotent or induced pluripotent cells with respect to cell differentiation and the resulting differentiated cell populations. The ability to incorporate genetic diversity in these assays would be useful. These assays will provide information on mechanisms of chemically-induced biological activity, help to pri...

What Kind of Information Should I Include in the “ Authentication of Key Biological and/or Chemical Resources ” Attachment?
Applicants proposing to use established key biological and/or chemical resources are expected to include an authentication plan in the “Authentication of Key Biological and/or Chemical Resources” attachment, even if the key resources were purchased or obtained from an outside source that provided data on prior authentication. The authentication plan must include only a description of the methods proposed to authenticate key resources prior to use and at regular intervals, if appropriate. The plan should be no more than one page. Key resources and the methods for authentication will vary by research field.
For e...

What Are “ Key Biological and/or Chemical Resources ” That Should Be Addressed In My Application ’s Authentication Plan?
The quality of resources used to conduct research is critical to the ability to reproduce the results, so to address scientific rigor in your NIH application, we ask you to include an authentication plan.
Key resources refer to established resources that will be used in the proposed research.
Key biological and/or chemical resources include, but are not limited to, cell lines, specialty chemicals, antibodies and other biologics. Key biological and/or chemical resources may or may not have been generated with NIH funds and:
may differ from laboratory to laboratory or over time;
may have qualities and/or qualifications th...
