# NCCAT: National Center for CryoEM Access and Training

> **NIH NIH U24** · NEW YORK STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY CENTER · 2020 · $47,738

## Abstract

Summary
The National Center for CryoEM Access and Training (NCCAT), based at the New York Structural Biology Center,
provides access to state-of-the-art equipment, including specimen preparation robots, high-end microscopes
and direct detectors, screening microscopes, and all the other ancillary equipment required to solve structures
to the highest possible resolution using cryo electron microscopy (cryoEM) methods. A highly qualified technical
team provides direct support, guidance and assistance to ensure that structures of the highest quality are
produced in the shortest possible time. A cross-training program provides training to users across a wide variety
of skill levels and career goals.
This is a request for supplemental funding to support the management of the cryoEM Merit Badge Initiative at
the National Center for CryoEM Access and Training (NCCAT). This program is a combined effort of the three
(3) cryoEM service centers and four (4) curriculum development partners of NIH’s Transformative High-
Resolution Cryo-Electron Microscopy Program. NCCAT will take the lead in organizing and coordinating the
initiative, and hosting a common website shared by all seven (7) members.
