OpportunityTitle: Limited Competition: Knockout Mouse Production and Phenotyping Project (UM1) Clinical Trial Not Allowed
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISISs); Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Faith-based or Community-based Organizations; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Indian/Native American Tribal Governments (Other than Federally Recognized); Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Organizations); Regional Organizations; Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) ; U.S. Territory or Possession.
Description: The purpose of the Knockout Mouse Phenotyping Project (KOMP2) is to produce a comprehensive resource of null-mutant mice, and associated phenotype data, for the purpose of elucidating functional information for each protein-coding gene in the mammalian genome. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits applications for production and phenotyping centers that will make maximum progress toward completion of KOMP2 in a final five-year project period. The specific objectives are to generate approximately 1,200 mutant mouse lines using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, perform a series of phenotyping assays, cryopreserve germplasm, and make mice and data readily available to the research community. This is a limited competition RFA. Only recipient organizations funded under (RFA-RM-15-017) are eligible to apply.
