Allowed): September 26, 2019

Description
This
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages applications for support of
national or regional resources that will provide access to state-of-the-art
facilities, equipment, technologies, research tools, software, and/or service
to a substantial user base at institutions across multiple states (regional) or
the country (national). These resources should already be established, although
new resources formed through consolidation of multiple local or regional
facilities are also eligible. They should be poised to achieve or already have
achieved significant economies of scale and should be able to significantly
increase access to the supported technologies or services for researchers
across one or more regions or the country. Major new research and development
efforts should not be included. For this FOA, a resource is defined as an
activity that provides research capabilities and expertise to a large number of
investigators and is available to any qualified investigator as a service. The
intent is to provide access to investigators without regard to the particular
biomedical focus of their research, but not to duplicate or replace resources
supported by other NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) or host institutions. Only
those resources whose technical capabilities fall within the program areas
supported by NIGMS will be supported. It is expected that the resource will be
maintained or upgraded to current best practices, make its capability and
availability known to the biomedical research community through outreach
activities, and provide user training and support. Stand-alone data resources
and databases are not eligible for funding through this FOA. This FOA is
limited to applications requesting support for resources that have been
developed through previous NIGMS funding.
