Microarray Guidelines and Availability
General Guidelines
Because these resources and reagents are limited in quantity, a request process for scientists to access them has been established. Requestors interested in obtaining reagents submit a brief proposal to NIAID's PFGRC describing their research plans for using the reagents.
NIAID intends to support investigators requesting reagents for both exploratory/developmental research projects and established research projects. Microarrays are provided for research purposes only; using them for commercial purposes is prohibited. In publications of studies using microarrays supplied by PFGRC, investigators are requested to acknowledge NIAID/PFGRC as the source of reagents.

Additional Microarrays Available from NIDCR
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Diseases (NIDCR) is pleased to announce the continuation of an initiative to provide no-cost, oligonucleotide genomic DNA microarray slides ("chips") for oral bacteria. This initiative is a collaborative effort between the NIDCR and the NIAID PFGRC located at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) (non-Government link).
