Genomic Resources: Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Library Construction (BAC)
Important information about NSF’s implementation of the revised 2 CFR
NSF Financial Assistance awards (grants and cooperative agreements) made on or after October 1, 2024, will be subject to the applicable set of award conditions, dated October 1, 2024, available on the NSF website. These terms and conditions are consistent with the revised guidance specified in the OMB Guidance for Federal Financial Assistance published in the Federal Register on April 22, 2024.

It is the responsibility of the proposer to ensure that the proposal meets these requirements. Submitting a proposal prior to a specified deadline does not negate this requirement.
Synopsis
The Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) invites proposals for the construction and arraying of Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) libraries, from a broad phylogenetic spectrum of organisms, for the purpose of addressing fundamental questions in developmental, evolutionary and comparative biology. Awards will be made to support the constructing and arraying of libraries, and the maintaining, archiving and disseminating of these libraries. The organisms selected should be justified in terms of their utility in addressing specific scientific questions, their phylogenetic significance, and their tractability for further studies.
