This grant is for the purpose of establishing inter-disciplinary collaborative research networks to advance the study of macromolecular interactions and their cellular functions. The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) seeks to integrate diverse research strategies into its existing base of laboratories. This funding opportunity allows investigators to complement capabilities across fields like biochemistry, genetics, chemistry, or pharmacology, focusing on biological innovation. It also supports the application of technically challenging or expensive proven technologies, such as mass spectrometry and high-throughput screening, for cell biology studies. Furthermore, it enables the development, piloting, evaluation, and application of emerging technologies like superresolution light microscopy, as well as feasibility studies for novel, unproven technological concepts useful for studying macromolecular interactions.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to establish inter-disciplinary collaborative research networks to advance studies of macromolecular interactions and their relationship to function in cells. These networks are designed to integrate additional research strategies into NIGMS’ research base of laboratories specializing in macromolecular function in living systems. Invetigators may use this funding opportunity to (i) complement each other’s capabilities (for example, in biochemistry, genetics, chemistry, or pharmacology), where the innovation is in the biology rather than in the technology; (ii) apply proven technologies that are technically challenging, expensive, or not yet widely used in cell biology and allied fields (for example, mass spectrometry, high-throughput screening); (iii) develop, pilot, evaluate, and/or apply emerging technologies (for example, superresolution light microscopy); (iv) carry out feasibility studies or upstream research and development of new technological concepts that are unproven, but potentially useful for study of macromolecular interactions. |
