OpportunityTitle: Technology and Methods Development for Genomics, Population Genomics and ELSI (R01)
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Foreign institutions are eligible to apply. Eligible agencies of the Federal Government can apply. Faith-based or community-based organizations can apply.
Description: -Purpose. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), along with the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invites grant applications for research related to genomics, including analysis of genome structure and function, genetic variation, population genomics, and ELSI (ethical, legal, and social implications). NHGRI places a high priority on research projects that address technology and methods development in all relevant areas, new approaches to bioinformatics that facilitate data management and data dissemination, new computational biology approaches to data analysis, new strategies to apply genomics to clinical problems, new approaches that combine genomics and population studies, and studies of the ethical, legal and social implications of genomics research including the exploration of new policy approaches to address social issues raised by new capabilities in genomics. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-07-459 (R21), which is a companion announcement to this FOA.. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
