This grant from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) seeks to establish an Informatics, Coordination and Service Center (ICSC) for the Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center (MMRRC) program. The ICSC will replace the current center, offering essential informatics and coordination to MMRRC centers and researchers. Services encompass public website, customer support, database management, and coordination of mouse strain donations, orders, acquisition, and distribution, alongside supporting consortium meetings. This U42 Cooperative Agreement anticipates one award of up to $650,000 in direct costs. Applications close October 7, 2010.

| Description: | Purpose. The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Center of Research Resources (NCRR), National Institutes of Health, is to solicit applications from institutions/organizations to establish and further develop and implement the Informatics, Coordination and Service Center (ICSC) component of the Mutant Mouse Regional Resource Center (MMRRC) program. This ICSC component will replace the functions of the contract-supported mutant mouse informatics coordinating center at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), Bar Harbor, ME. That center is expected to close August 31, 2010. The newly established ICSC is expected to provide informatics and coordinating services to the centers of the MMRRC and biomedical researchers. These services include maintenance and further development of a public website portal and Customer Service Center, to facilitate interactions with biomedical investigators, Informatics services, database activities, an archive of MMRRC documents and files, and coordination of requests to donate mouse strains to the MMRRC and order mouse strains from the MMRRC. Moreover, the ICSC will actively participate in the monthly teleconference, annual consortium meeting, and coordinate the acquisition and distribution of strains. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the U42 Cooperative Agreement (Animal Models, and Animal and Biological Material Resource Cooperative Agreement) grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. A total of up to $650K in Direct Cost is available, contingent on the availability of funds. It is anticipated that one (1) new award will be made contingent on the availability of funds and the submission of meritorious applications. |
