What it does

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund, working with other NIH institutes and centers, will fund collaborative centers that develop RNA (ribonucleic acid) measurement and mapping tools. Applications are not being solicited yet; the forecast is meant to give applicants time to build collaborations, and the posting and due dates are estimates.
