# NCCAT: National Center for CryoEM Access and Training

> **NIH NIH U24** · NEW YORK STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY CENTER · 2020 · $2,000,000

## 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 for the National Center for CryoEM Access and Training (NCCAT) to
upgrade a Titan Krios microscope with a next generation electron source and energy filter. Additional
supplemental funding is requested for a 120 KeV TEM that will be used for training activities at NCCAT.
