This program aims to develop tools and technologies for studying carbohydrates to advance understanding of their roles in health and disease. The grant supports the development of new approaches for the synthesis and functionalization of biomedically relevant glycans and glyco-conjugates, focusing on mammalian and microbial glycans. Researchers are encouraged to explore catalytic methods, chemical/chemo-enzymatic methods, and technologies for accessible and affordable carbohydrate research. Closing Date: Oct 15, 2015

| Description: | The Common Fund Program – Accelerating Translation of Glycoscience: Integration and Accessibility – aims to develop accessible and affordable new tools and technologies for studying carbohydrates that will allow biomedical researchers to significantly advance our understanding of the roles of these complex molecules in health and disease. This program will enable investigators who might not otherwise conduct research in the glycosciences, to undertake the study of carbohydrate structure and function.
In support of these aims, this FOA is intended to develop new approaches (catalytic methods, chemical/chemo-enzymatic methods, and technologies) to facilitate the rapid, robust, and affordable synthesis, and/or functionalization of bio-medically relevant glycans and glyco-conjugates representing 1) mammalian glycomes and 2) microbial glycans. |
