Description

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to support capacity building for genomics research. The program will fund Genomic Research Centers at biomedical research institutions with specific NIH funding criteria. Each award will support interdisciplinary teams to develop 2-3 innovative genomic research projects addressing critical issues in genomics such as technology development, genome structure and function, disease genomics, clinical impact, data science, ethical implications, and health outcomes. The centers will also focus on expanding the pool of genomic scientists through aligned educational and research activities. Applications are not currently being solicited; this notice is to allow potential applicants time to prepare.
