The common marmoset is emerging as a valuable nonhuman primate model for neuroscience research, given its behavioral similarities to humans and recent success in germline gene transmission. This grant, offered by the NIH BRAIN Initiative, aims to expand existing marmoset colonies within the U.S. and support the crucial care, breeding, and distribution of genetically modified marmosets, as well as cryopreserved embryos and gametes generated by NIH-funded research programs. Recipients are expected to provide healthy, well-characterized animals to the neuroscience community and develop a plan for distributing genetically modified lines. Furthermore, awardees must collaborate with an NIH-Funded Marmoset Coordination Center by sharing health and genetic data to enhance genetic diversity across the captive population.

| Description: | The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) has emerged as a promising nonhuman primate model system to understand the primate brain. This has come about both from the realization that the behavior of the common marmoset is similar in some ways to human behavior and from recent demonstration of germline transmission of exogenous genetic information. This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) solicits applications to expand existing colonies of the common marmoset for neuroscience research in the United States, and to support the care, breeding and distribution of genetically modified marmosets, and cryopreserved embryos and gametes created by NIH-funded research programs such as the NIH BRAIN Initiative Tools for Germline Gene Editing in Marmosets research consortium. Recipients s under this NOFO are expected to expand their current marmoset colonies to provide healthy, well-characterized animals that will be made available to the neuroscience research community, and to include a plan to accept genetically modified marmosets, and cryopreserved embryos and gametes for distribution to the research community. Recipients are also expected to participate in and provide health and genetic information to an NIH-Funded Marmoset Coordination Center to help the community understand the pedigree of individuals in the captive marmoset population and improve the genetic diversity of that population across multiple colonies. |
