Structural Genomics Centers for Infectious Diseases

Prioritization and Approval Process

Proposals for targets submitted by the community for determination of 3-D structure in addition to those identified by the Centers themselves are reviewed and approved by NIAID staff according to the following criteria:

Benefit to the scientific community
Public health importance of the NIAID Category A-C pathogen or organism causing emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases
Feasibility, including, for example, physical/chemical properties of the protein for 3-D structure determination and availability of genomic or cDNA from the target organism

Highest priority is given to targets proposed by the community.
