This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits R43/R44 grant applications to catalyze major advances in single-molecule protein sequencing through technology development. The goal of this initiative is to achieve technological advances over the next five years that enable generation of protein sequencing data at sufficient scale, speed, cost and accuracy to use routinely in studies of genome biology and function, and in biomedical and clinical research in general. Exploration of methods other than those currently being commercialized is highly encouraged.
