Description

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) seeks applications to provide continuing support for a National Swine Resource and Research Center (NSRRC). The NSRRC will serve as a centralized national resource for creating, breeding, cryopreserving, and distributing genetically modified models to support biomedical research. It aims to reduce variability and improve reproducibility by providing consistent, high-quality, specific pathogen-free models. The center also offers genotyping, phenotyping, infectious disease monitoring, protocol distribution, and training related to the care and use of these models. Additionally, it leads the development of alternative or complementary approaches alongside in vivo models.
