Archived: NIH Request for Input: Transformative High-Resolution Cryo-EM

By Paula Flicker
NIH is requesting input from the community on scientific opportunities, critical needs and strategies for realizing the scientific potential of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The request for information (RFI) seeks input from researchers, institutions, professional societies and others interested in cryo-EM, including those who have not done any work in the area but have an interest in doing so in the future. The RFI solicits input on a number of topics, including but not limited to:
  • Cryo-EM needs and capacity.
  • Workforce development and training.
  • Technology development.
RFI responses should be sent to cyro-em@mail.nih.gov by August 8, 2016. If you have any questions about the RFI, please let me know.
