2011-03-24 The NIH Common Fund (http://commonfund.nih.gov) was enacted into law by Congress through the 2006 NIH Reform Act to support cross-cutting, trans-NIH programs that require participation by at least two NIH Institutes or Centers (ICs) or would otherwise benefit from strategic planning and coordination. The NIH Common fund provides support to the KOMP2 Phenotyping Program, which will provide new tools and methods, a comprehensive mutant mosue databse and library, and conduct broad, standardized, and high-throughput analysis of mutant mouse models produced by the International Knockout Mouse Consortium.
