Preapplication for the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) [X02]: -Purpose. This announcement solicits pre-applications for three types of screening and chemical probe generation centers with complementary capabilities and a high degree of flexibility to address a wide range of biological targets and phenotypes in the production phase of the Molecular Libraries Program (MLP). The goal of the MLP is to screen compounds in the Small Molecule Repository in target-based and phenotypic assays to identify and subsequently optimize small molecules as research probes. These probes will be used by the community to explore the function of major components of the cell in health and disease, with data and information made rapidly available in PubChem. Applicants may submit a pre-application for a Comprehensive Screening Center, a Specialized Screening Center, or a Specialized Chemistry Center as described below. -The program is a follow on to the Molecular Libraries Screening Centers Network (MLSCN) that was initiated in 2004 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-04-017.html). The pre-application process is not restricted to the centers that currently comprise the MLSCN (http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/molecularlibraries/fundedresearch.asp)
