Program Announcements

PAR for applications to perform
Genetic and Genomic Analyses of Xenopus

The National Institutes of Health has issued a Program Announcement with a special Review (PAR) to solicit applications using Xenopus to identify and characterize genes, gene families, and gene networks that control developmental and cellular events. It also solicits applications to generate research tools and to perform pilot studies. Additionally, it solicits applications to devise and improve techniques to alter gene expression, and to control the spatial and temporal pattern of gene expression.

There is one receipt date per year for each of the next three years: January 18, 2006, 2007 & 2008. Applications received for each receipt date will be reviewed together in a study section convened specifically for them.

This PAR is co-sponsored by the Trans-NIH Xenopus Working Group and by eight Institutes and one Center (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Eye Institute, National Institute on Deafness and other Communication Disorders, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, National Institute of General Medical Sciences, National Institute of Mental Health, National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, and the National Center for Research Resources). Accordingly, applications performing studies relevant to these institutes and centers are welcome.
