Description: The purpose of this Common Fund initiative is to advance the application of cryoelectron tomography (cryoET), a powerful new method for directly visualizing macromolecular associations and organization in native cells. The two FOAs for this initiative will establish a national network of service centers that will provide these services to the community: collection of high-resolution cryoET data, cryoET specimen preparation, access for users to advanced instrumentation for cryoET, and cross-training in cryoET methods. This FOA will establish one service center that will serve as the network&apos;s central hub. The hub will serve user laboratories in the community directly and will also provide services to the four service centers that will be established by the companion FOA, RFA-RM-19-009. Those other centers will specialize in specimen preparation. The hub will perform cryoET data collection for all the user laboratories served by the whole network.
