#  On-site screens 

 



 We welcome applications for on-site cell-based and *in vivo Drosophila* functional genomics screens, as well as short or long research visits aimed at learning about and/or using our technologies and specialized equipment.

##  Support includes ![384-well assay plate](/sites/g/files/omnuum5366/files/fly/files/assay-plate-16-9-adjusted.jpg)

 



- cell-based RNAi
- cell-based CRISPR projects
- cell-based drug screening
- *in vivo* RNAi
- *in vivo* drug screens
- assay development and optimization

 We operate primarily on a researcher-driven, staff-supported model. A typical visiting screener is a postdoc or grad student deeply involved in the project who learns from us specific techniques and uses our equipment to perform the large-scale screen, then returns to his or her lab for data analysis and follow-up steps. In some circumstances, we have also done projects on a contract basis (e.g. *in vivo* drug screening).

 For both on-site and off-site screens, we provide remote support for data analysis and integration, as well as reagents, protocols and consultation on follow-up validation. We also help with screen data management, such as submission of data sets to public repositories.

 Please [contact the DRSC-FGR Director](/people/stephanie-e-mohr) to inquire about screen requirements, budgeting, letters of support, assay optimization, or other topics related to getting ready for a screen. When you are ready to apply for a genome-wide cell-based RNAi screen, please visit the [DRSC-FGR PPMS instrument and sign-up system](https://ppms.us/hms-drsc) to request the library, as well as to complete the associated application and data sharing forms.
