Centers of Excellence in Chemical Methodologies and Library Development (P50): -The goal of this FOA is to stimulate the establishment and maintenance of multi-investigator research centers whose mission will be to develop efficient, general, state-of-the-art methodologies for the design, synthesis, analysis, and handling of chemical diversity libraries. The CMLD Centers will continue to feature collaborations and team approaches that otherwise would not be established, including individuals from various subdisciplines within the field of chemistry and/or from cognate fields, that will develop novel enabling methodologies. The minimum requirements for a CMLD Center will be three research projects, three faculty-level participants (but not necessarily one per project), and a library synthesis core. In order to promote overall diversity within the CMLD initiative, each applicant must propose at least one methods development research project that is ot fundamentally organic synthesis. The library synthesis core must provide samples (10-20 mg per compound) to the NIH Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository for high-throughput screening by the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network. -NIGMS intends to commit up to approximately $10 million in the first year and approximately $8-9 million in each succeeding year. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size of each award will vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality and costs of the applications received.
