Microarray Centers for Research on the Nervous System: The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invite applications for support of Microarray Centers. These Centers will support gene expression profiling in the nervous system through the application of microarray technologies. The Microarray Centers, which will function as a consortium, will provide reagents, services, and training to the neuroscience community, on a fee-for-service basis. The NINDS/NIMH Microarray Consortium was originally funded for three years in June 2002 under RFA-NS-02-001 as a consortium of three Microarray Centers. Information on the structure of the consortium and on the products and services offered to users is available on the consortium website (http://arrayconsortium.tgen.org). Further information on this initiative is available by viewing the transcript of a pre-application meeting that was held at NIH on June 7, 2001 (http://www.ninds.nih.gov/funding/technology_development/rfa-ns-02- 001/meeting_summary.htm). No pre-application meeting will be held for this RFA, which is a reissue of the original RFA. This recompetition of the Microarray Center awards will renew the consortium for five years.
