Collaborative Research for Molecular and Genomic Studies of Basic Behavior in Animal Models (R01)

-Purpose. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National Institutes of Health (NIH), is to facilitate collaborative research, involving behavioral scientists and investigators with expertise in molecular biology and/or genomics, which addresses questions about basic mechanisms of behavior in animal models. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary.
