Description: The overarching goal of this FOA is to add informatics capabilities to the Common Fund program, Illuminating the Druggable Genome (IDG; https://commonfund.nih.gov/idg/index). The IDG consortium&apos;s purpose is to facilitate the unveiling of the functions of selected understudied proteins in the Druggable Genome using experimental and informatics approaches. Currently, this research consortium is composed of multiple Data and Resource Generation Centers (DRGCs), a Knowledge Management Center (KMC), and a Resource Dissemination and Outreach Center (RDOC). The purpose of this specific FOA is to solicit applications to build a set of Cutting Edge Informatics Tools (CEITs) that will augment the capability of the KMC as well as the broader IDG Consortium in two ways: (1) by deploying tools to enhance the communitys ability to process, analyze, visualize data, to prioritize new data resources and methods to be incorporated into Pharos that will strengthen predictions about physiological and disease associations around the understudied proteins and (2) to prioritize physiological and disease relevant cellular and animal models for further study of the understudied proteins (non-olfactory GPCRs, protein kinases, and ion channels) both within the IDG program and by the larger community.
