FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– Administrative Supplements for Making Knockout MiceThe NIH and the Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP) re-announce the opportunity for investigators to apply for administrative supplements to have mouse knockouts made from existing mutant ES cell resources. The goal of this program is to support use of existing resources and to ensure that ES cell lines are converted into frozen embryos that are available from a repository. With up to $13,125 (direct costs) from the NIH, you can get started quickly on generating the knockout you need for your research project. To view the NIH notice, click here. There are two receipt dates in fiscal year 2008: April 1, 2008 and June 1, 2008. You may also contact the Case CCC Cancer Center Athymic Animal & Xenograft Facilities for details: Lili Liu, MD, PhD- Director, or Daniel Lindner, MD, PhD- Co-Director.
