PURPOSE



The purpose of this program announcement (PA) is to encourage

research that will expand the conceptual and experimental basis of

metabolic engineering.  Basic research that contributes to a

quantitative understanding of the integration and control of genetic,

catalytic, and transport processes that comprise metabolism is

encouraged, as is research to create techniques which facilitate the

exploitation of metabolic processes for biomedical uses.  Research

support mechanisms include research project grants (R01), First

Independent Research Support and Transition (FIRST) (R29) awards, and

program project grants (P01).
