NIH Plans to Announce Interest in Receiving Applications Several Institutes and Centers of the NIH are considering announcing their interest in receiving research grant applications to perform genetic and genomic analyses of Xenopus. Examples of projects of interest include: 1) Large projects from multidisciplinary teams that are based on extensive preliminary data. These applications could use the newly available genetic and genomic data and reagents, and/or new methodologies to characterize and study genes involved in developmental events and in cellular processes. Such projects would be particularly appropriate for collaborations between investigators with different expertise to analyze the genomic data to elucidate the genetic bases of cellular and developmental events. 2) Smaller projects using existing techniques to generate research tools, such as genetic and physical maps, and to mine data; and pilot studies such as phenotypic screens, microarray analyses, and expression cloning designed to produce preliminary data that would form the basis of future applications. 3) Smaller projects designed to develop novel techniques, such as strategies for mutagenesis, conditional gene expression, or for identifying new genes or mutants, as well as new tools to mine and analyze sequence data.
