The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is inviting applications for the submission of pediatric cohort samples to be sequenced at a Kids First Program-supported sequencing center as part of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - Products/Services Requested: - Submission and sequencing of pediatric cohort samples - Sequencing types may include: - Whole genome sequencing - Exome sequencing - Transcriptome sequencing - Long-read sequencing - Proteomics assays - Epigenomic assays - Samples may be from pediatric cancer or congenital anomaly cohorts - Data, including clinical and phenotypic information, will be shared with the research community via the Kids First Data Resource Center - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Applicants may propose sequencing of existing cohorts - Justification required for tumor or affected tissue sequencing - No specific OEMs or vendors are named, as this is a research grant opportunity focused on sample submission and sequencing services

Description

The NIH invites applications to submit samples from pediatric cohorts for whole genome sequencing at a Kids First Program supported sequencing center. The program focuses on pediatric cancer and congenital anomalies to elucidate genetic contributions, investigate genetic etiology, study molecular associations, and expand pediatric disorder data. Sequencing types include whole genome, exome, transcriptome, long-read sequencing, proteomics, and epigenomic assays when justified. Data generated will be shared with the research community via the Kids First Data Resource Center.
