35-2 Organotypic Culture Models for
Predictive Toxicology Center (EPA)
The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, as part of its Science to Achieve
Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for research centers to investigate
toxic effects of chemical substances in
three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models,
hereafter referred to as ‘organotypic culture models’ (OCMs). This solicitation
Vol. 22, No. 35
seeks the formation of research centers
that will guide the development and evaluation of OCMs that will accelerate
translational research in predictive toxicology. Three dimensional tissue models
may, for example, utilize animal cells
combined with mechanical scaffolds or
microfluidics devices. Under this solicitation, the successful applicant will lead
a Center to craft OCMs that can recapitulate critical features of in vivo cellular
organization and communication, cellmatrix interplay, morphogenetic processes and differentiation, physiology
and chemical metabolism. Measures of
success or progress should be described
toward the application of OCMs for
computational toxicology and reconstructing in vivo responses to environmental chemicals and nanomaterials to
improve environmental health protection. As such, the OCMs should be scalable in support of medium to high
throughput strategies or high-dimensional quantitative data collection, such
as high content imaging, that respond to
questions relevant to chemical risk
assessment and management.

35-3 Major Research
Instrumentation Program: (MRI)
Instrument Acquisition or
Development (NSF)
The Major Research Instrumentation
Program (MRI) serves to increase access
to shared scientific and engineering
instruments for research and research
training in our Nation’s institutions of
higher education, and not-for-profit
museums, science centers and scientific/
engineering research organizations. This
program especially seeks to improve the
quality and expand the scope of research
and research training in science and engineering, by supporting proposals for
shared instrumentation that fosters the
integration of research and education in
research-intensive learning environments. Each MRI proposal may request
support for the acquisition (Track 1) or
development (Track 2) of a single
research instrument for shared inter- and/
or intra-organizational use; development
efforts that leverage the strengths of private sector partners to build instrument
development capacity at MRI submission-eligible organizations are encouraged. If three proposals are submitted, at
least one of the proposals must be for
instrument development (i.e., no more
than two proposals may be for instrument acquisition). NSF 13-517

35-6 Adaptation of Scalable
Technologies to Illuminate the
Druggable Genome (U01) (NIH)
The overarching goals of this Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA) and
the companion announcement (RFA-RM13-011) are to foster the development of
technologies and information management to facilitate the unveiling of the
functions of the poorly characterized and/
or un-annotated members in four protein
classes of the Druggable Genome. This
FOA calls for adaptation of an ensemble
of scalable technology platforms to characterize functions of proteins as a large
group at molecular and cellular levels in
medium- to high-throughput fashion,
rather than repeating the “one at a time”
