This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for support of “mature” resources at synchrotron facilities to provide user access to X-ray beamlines for structural biology research. “Mature” refers to the techniques made available at the resource beamlines; they must be well-established, requiring no significant novel technology development in order to provide utility to the communities they serve or to maintain them at the state of the art. This funding opportunity is limited to resources whose operations recently have been or currently are being supported by NIGMS funding. It is expected that the facility will be maintained or upgraded to current best practices, make its capability and availability known to the biomedical research community through outreach activities, and provide user training and support.
Application Deadlines: Oct. 11, 2022; Oct. 10, 2023; Oct. 10, 2024
PAR-22-166 Expiration Date October 11, 2024
This FOA is limited to applications requesting support for existing synchrotron Resources that are currently, or recently have been, supported by NIGMS funding. Resources whose funding ended more than 36 months ago are no longer eligible to submit an application to this FOA.
PD/PI(s) should possess the skills, knowledge and resources required to provide leadership to all key components of the resource, not only to individual select activities.
