Novel Methods for Obtaining Molecular Information from Archived Tissue Samples (R43/R44): This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) to develop novel technologies to expand the capability for molecular analyses of banked frozen or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. There is a need for improved tissue preservation methods that maintain histologic features while preserving high quality DNA, RNA, protein and small molecules in archived tissue from rodent and human studies. In addition, novel approaches are needed to preserve DNA, RNA, and small molecules during collection and storage of biological samples.
