Consortium for Functional Glycomics Awarded $40.7 Million "Glue" Grant
New Multi-Year Funding Will Allow International Group to Unravel Carbohydrates Mysteries
The Scripps Research Institute, September 7, 2006
The Consortium for Functional Glycomics was formed in response to the NIGMS announcement that it would provide glue grants to support multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional research projects that would be considered beyond the means of any one group. The new grant will be shared by several institutions, including the University of California, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Palo Alto Research Center, Emory University, Indiana University, Imperial College of London (United Kingdom), Kyoto University (Japan), ND Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry (Russia), and VU University Medical Center (The Netherlands). Currently, more than 30 percent of consortium members are from outside the United States, representing more than 25 countries.
