Description

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) plans to establish an ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) program to create an ethical resource of ancient and historical human DNA data. The program aims to advance studies on contemporary human traits and biology by coordinating activities and working with researchers and local communities. The Coordinating Center will oversee program activities and facilitate collaboration across components. Applications are not currently being solicited, but this notice allows potential applicants time to develop collaborations and projects. The NOFO will use the U24 activity code and encourages investigators with expertise in ancient DNA, population genomics, DNA sequencing, computational genomics, human evolution, and ancient populations to consider applying.
