Internal Opportunities

2023 Research Opportunity Seed Fund (ROSF)

Application: 1/29/2023

ICBR PromethION Pilot Project Proposal
Application: 10/30/2022 (send to tenser9@ufl.edu

To introduce the UF research community to the use of Oxford Nanopore Technology PromethION nanopore DNA sequencing, the ICBR is requesting pilot project proposals utilizing this technology for funding consideration. (Here is a link describing the PromethION platform https://nanoporetech.com/applications).

This is an ICBR-sponsored opportunity open to all UF investigators on campus.  The intended outcome of this opportunity is to provide investigators with high quality long read sequencing data using the PromethION platform that can be used to support future grant submissions and/or contribute to the publication of a peer-reviewed publication in a high-impact journal. Collaborative, trans-disciplinary projects are encouraged.

The pilot award will include all reagents and ICBR staff support to complete the specific experimental aims of the project. Applicants will be responsible for analysis of the raw data. Of particular interest are those projects that will address an unmet need in the investigator’s research area (For example, determining whole genome sequence of a model organism; detecting novel mutations in a human disease population) and provide preliminary data for larger-scale, externally funded proposals.
