Design and conduct controlled evaluations of assays intended to identify where genome editing enzymes have been active in a genome, with an experimental design that allows for enough power to assess the sources of variability, repeatability, and reproducibility within an assay. (2) Data and Meta Data: a. Identify community norms for data formats and tools for benchmarking data analysis including in silico data sets and an experimental data set. b. Determine the type of meta data that would be needed to be shared, housed, and interrogated from genome editing experiments. (3) Lexicon: Identify terms and related definitions to form a common genome editing community lexicon. No proprietary information will be shared as part of the Consortium. Process: Interested parties with relevant genome editing associated capabilities (see below), products, and/ or technical expertise to support this Consortium should contact NIST using the information provided in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. NIST will then provide each interested party with a letter of interest template, which the party must complete, and submit to NIST. NIST will contact interested parties if there are questions regarding the responsiveness of the letters. NIST will select participants who have submitted complete letters of interest based on the capabilities listed below. Eligibility will be determined solely by NIST based on information provided by interested organizations and upon the availability of necessary resources to NIST. To participate, the eligible applicant will be required to sign a CRADA with NIST. Requirements: Each letter of interest should provide the following information: (1) A description of the experience in genome editing or genome engineering, bioinformatics, next-generation sequencing, detection or quantitation of DNA variants or related expertise to contribute to the Consortium. (2) Subgroups or topic areas of interest for participation. There is no limit on the number of areas of participation. (3) List of interested party’s anticipated participants. VerDate Sep<11>2014 00:05 Jan 11, 2018 Jkt 244001 Letters of interest may not include business proprietary information. NIST will not treat any information provided in response to this Notice as proprietary information. NIST will notify each organization of its eligibility. In order to participate in this Consortium, each eligible organization must sign a CRADA for this Consortium. All participants to this Consortium will be bound by the same terms and conditions. Participants will be required to contribute financial or equivalent inkind resources, as determined by NIST, of at least $20,000. NIST does not guarantee participation in the Consortium or in any other collaboration to any organization submitting a Letter of Interest. Kevin Kimball, NIST Chief of Staff.
