Internal Competition Completed
Principal Investigators Selected:
- Hoahua Qian, Associate Professor, Ophthalmology, College of Medicine
Program Summary
The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) encourages the submission of individual animal resource improvement grant applications from biomedical research institutions. The major objective of this program is to upgrade animal facilities to support the conduct of Public Health Service (PHS) supported biomedical and behavioral research. A related objective is to assist institutions in complying with the USDA Animal Welfare Act and DHHS policies related to the care and use of laboratory animals. Support is limited to alterations and renovations (A&R) to improve laboratory animal facilities, and the purchase of major equipment items for animal resources, diagnostic laboratories, transgenic animal resources, or similar associated activities.
Animal resource improvement grants are awarded to assist biomedical research institutions in upgrading animal facilities and developing administratively centralized and uniformly effective programs of research animal care in support of PHS-funded research. Another major objective is to assist institutions in complying, and maintaining compliance, with provisions of the USDA Animal Welfare Act and DHHS policies related to the care and use of laboratory animals. Animal resource improvement applications that support AIDS-related research projects are encouraged to apply.
This FOA will use the NIH G20 award mechanism. As an applicant, you will be solely responsible for planning, directing, and executing the proposed project. The mechanism available for the support of these improvement projects is the grant for repair, renovation, and modernization of existing research facilities. The total budget request for the improvement grant application and award is limited to $500,000 (direct costs).
UIC is restricted to one application.
