University of Washington, Office of the Provost Grant

Organization - University of Washington, Office of the Provost
Grant Amount - $826,657
Foundation - Moore Foundation
Grant Purpose - The University of Washington will use this grant to purchase cutting-edge deep-coverage DNA sequencing technology, test the capabilities of this new technology for the marine microbiology research community by performing diatom environmental genomics and transcriptomics experiments, and establish a scheme for community use of the resource. This grant is part of a multi-grant strategy to expand the diversity and capacity of DNA sequencing technologies available to marine microbial ecology researchers.
