Escherichia Coli K-12 Model Organism Resource (U24): -Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is a reissue of RFA-GM-06-001 http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-GM-06-001.html. The current FOA solicits Cooperative Agreement (U24) applications for the development of a central knowledge and data resource (henceforth referred to as the K-12 Resource ) for Escherichia coli strain K-12, related strains, their phage, and mobile genetic elements (henceforth referred to as the K-12 Group ). The K-12 Resource will organize and increase the utility of sequence, sequence annotation, high throughput data, data mining algorithms, mathematical models, structural and functional data, and legacy information related to the biology of the K-12 Group, while identifying and filling any gaps in informatics activities needed by the research community. The K-12 Resource will provide access to existing sources, as well as internally generated data and information. The K-12 Resource will be responsive to the needs of both experimental and computational researchers while also providing the community with a K-12 centric forum for news and announcements. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the U24 grant mechanism.
