What the grant funds
The purpose of this FOA is to invite applications for Chemical Analysis Sites to serve as part of the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC; http://commonfund.nih.gov/MolecularTransducers). This is a limited competition FOA and open only to the previously funded grantees of MoTrPAC Chemical Analysis sites through RFA-RM-15-010 and RFA-RM-15-011. Awards made through this FOA will support participation of grantees in the MoTrPAC consortium activities and the continuation of the analysis of tissues collected by the MoTrPAC consortium. Awardees will conduct omics analysis of tissues collected from human participants undergoing a physical activity intervention, generate well curated datasets, contribute that data to a public consortium database, and participate in the data analysis to generate molecular fingerprints of candidate transducers of physical activity.
