NIH BRAIN Initiative: Facilities for Production and Distribution of Brain Cell Type-Specific Access Reagents

NIH is seeking proposals to establish facilities for the large-scale production and distribution of brain cell type-specific access reagents as part of the BRAIN Initiative Armamentarium for Brain Cell Access project. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - BRAIN Initiative Armamentarium for Brain Cell Access project - Products/Services Requested: - Production and distribution of gene transfer, gene regulation, and genome engineering reagents - Reagents must be suitable for use in genetically tractable and less tractable systems, including primates and human tissue - All reagents must be designed and validated under other BRAIN Initiative Armamentarium NOFOs - OEMs and Vendors: - No specific OEMs or vendors are named in the solicitation - Unique or Notable Requirements: - Facilities must be capable of scaling production and distribution for broad access by the neuroscience research community - Support for translational research is required - Open to a wide range of eligible applicants, including government entities, educational institutions, nonprofits, and businesses

Description

This BRAIN Initiative Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports scaled reagent production and distribution facilities involving technologies to access brain cell types. The initiative encourages facilities that produce and distribute reagents for use by a broad set of neuroscientists. The reagents include gene transfer, gene regulation, and genome engineering tools for genetically tractable and less tractable systems, including primates and human tissue. These reagents are designed and validated under other NOFOs from the Armamentarium transformative project and are relevant for future translational efforts.
