Development of New Technologies Needed for Studying the Human Microbiome (R21): -Purpose. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications to develop new and improved technologies for obtaining samples for sequencing, by culturing or otherwise isolating for analysis currently uncultivatable organisms from the human microbiota. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) award mechanism and runs in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope, RFA RM-08-010, that solicits applications under the R01 mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. $2 million is available in FY08 for this FOA and the parallel R01 FOA in combination. It is anticipated that 2-6 R21 grants and 2-4 R01 grants will be awarded. R21 applications may request up to $275,000 direct costs over 2 years, with no more than $200,000 in direct costs allowed in any single year. The R21 is not renewable. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
