The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program, is inviting applications for pediatric cohort sample sequencing services. - Government Buyer: - National Institutes of Health (NIH) - Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program - OEMs and Vendors: - No specific OEMs or vendors are named; this is a research grant opportunity - Products/Services Requested: - Sequencing of pediatric cohort samples - Whole genome sequencing - Exome sequencing - Transcriptome sequencing - Long-read sequencing - Proteomics and epigenomic assays (when justified) - Data and associated clinical/phenotypic information to be shared with the Kids First Data Resource Center - Unique/Notable Requirements: - Focus on pediatric cancer and congenital anomalies - Applicants must propose sequencing of existing cohorts - Data generated must be shared with the broader research community - No specific products, part numbers, or purchase quantities listed (grant for research 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 encourages sequencing of existing cohorts of pediatric cancer or congenital anomalies to elucidate genetic contributions to childhood cancers and congenital anomalies. Applications may propose whole genome, exome, transcriptome sequencing, long-read sequencing, proteomics, and epigenomic assays. The resulting data will be shared with the research community through the Kids First Data Resource Center.
