Description

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for capacity building in genomics research. The program will support Genomic Research Centers at biomedical research institutions with specific NIH funding thresholds, focusing on developing 2-3 interrelated, innovative genomic research projects per award. Projects should address critical issues in genomics such as technology development, genome structure and function, genomics of disease, clinical applications, data science, ELSI, and health outcomes. The Centers are also expected to expand the pool of genomic scientists through educational and research activities. Applications are not being solicited yet; this is a forecast to allow potential applicants time to prepare.
