OpportunityTitle: Knockout Mouse Production and Cryopreservation (U42)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions; Eligible Agencies of the Federal Government; Hispanic-serving Institutions; Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs) .
Description: Purpose. This FOA issued by the Office of Strategic Coordination, National Institutes of Health, solicits grant applications from institutions/ organizations that propose to convert the International Knockout Mouse Consortiums knockout embryonic stem (ES) cell libraries (www.komp.org and www.eummcr.org), into mice, perform quality control (QC) on the imported materials and subsequent products, cooperatively send the mice to the successful grantees under RFA-RM-10-011 for phenotyping, and cryopreserve germplasm of those mice and send aliquots to the KOMP repository. The overall objective of this FOA is to generate the resources needed by NIH-funded Mouse Phenotyping Centers to produce functional information for each protein coding gene in the mammalian genome as described in RFA-RM-10-011. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the U42 award mechanism and runs in parallel with two additional FOAs that solicits applications under the U54 award mechanism (RFA-RM-10-012, RFA-RM-10-011). Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Up to $12.4 million in total costs per year for periods up to 5 years may be requested. It is anticipated that 1-3 awards will be made contingent upon receiving scientifically meritorious proposals.
