| Description: |
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits R21 grant applications to develop novel technologies that will enable substantive (no less than one order of magnitude) improvement in synthetic nucleic acids. The goal is to improve the quality, capabilities and efficiency of nucleic acid synthesis and synthetic constructs at reasonable and decreased costs. Applicants may propose to develop novel complete synthesis and/or synthetic constructs systems, investigate challenges underlying key novel system components, or propose substantive improvements of at least an order of magnitude improvement to existing systems. Exploration of methods other than those currently in use is highly encouraged. High-risk/high-payoff applications are appropriate to achieve the goals of this FOA. |
