Grant Description

This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds from the NIH Common Fund, invites applications for R01 awards that will accelerate the translation of promising technologies for single cell analysis from prototype into practice, by taking them through the downstream development and validation process and establishing them as robust, well-characterized tools ready to transform our understanding of cell-level heterogeneity in a wide variety of clinical and research settings. Awards will focus on supporting multidisciplinary teams that apply an integrative, quantitative approach to developing these technologies so they fulfill a critical unmet need by offering compelling advantages to end-users, but can be applied to multiple types of cell populations. It is expected that applications will have well-defined goal(s) with intermediate quantitative milestones.
