National Institutes of Health: Development of Tools to Study the Synaptome Grant

This grant from the National Institutes of Health aims to support the development of innovative technologies and tools for studying genes and proteins at the synapse on a large scale. The advancements made through this grant will impact the fields of neurology, psychiatry, and neuroscience by enhancing research capabilities and reducing costs. Applicants are encouraged to create tools that offer improved sensitivity, selectivity, and spatiotemporal resolution compared to existing technologies. The deadline for applications is April 16, 2012.

Additional Information

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institutes of Health, encourages applications that will develop novel technologies and/or tools to facilitate the study of genes and proteins at the synapse on a large scale. Being able to characterize the synaptome in the context of hundreds of genes/proteins would be a major advance for basic and translational research. The technologies/tools created would be expected to affect the fields of neurology, psychiatry, and neuroscience by enriching existing resources as well as those in development. The new tools should enable discovery science related to the synapse by providing for substantially greater sensitivity, selectivity, spatiotemporal resolution and markedly decreased costs compared to currently available technologies.
