The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is set to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the Informatics, Coordination and Service Center (ICSC) within the Mutant Mouse Resource and Research Centers (MMRRC) consortium, aimed at enhancing biomedical research through improved informatics services. The initiative seeks to support projects that develop and assist resources related to animal and biological materials, focusing on the integration of new approach methodologies (NAMs) alongside traditional animal-based research. This funding opportunity, utilizing the U42 activity code, is expected to provide a total of $878,000, with one award anticipated, and applications will be accepted starting in Summer 2025, following the NOFO publication in Spring 2025. For further inquiries, interested applicants can contact Dr. Oleg Mirochnitchenko at oleg.mirochnitchenko@nih.gov or by phone at 301-425-0479.
