The purpose of Data Access Grants (DAGs) is to enable researchers to generate preliminary data for grant proposals. DAGs do not cover personnel; rather, they cover costs (typically < $4,000) to generate needed data. Examples of services and items we will consider include, but are not limited to: DNA sequencing, ddPCR, cryo-EM, mass spectrometry, experimental reagents, AI-related project support, data purchase, pilot surveys, or software.
