Description: NHGRI is soliciting grant applications to develop new and improved technologies for the efficient, comprehensive and high-throughput identification, validation and characterization of all types of sequence-based functional elements in eukaryotic genomes. This FOA will use the R21 (Exploratory/Developmental Research) grant mechanism; the R21 mechanism is intended to encourage new exploratory/developmental research projects by providing for support for the early stages of their development. R21 projects are funded to demonstrate feasibility of a subsequent project and to obtain preliminary data testing innovative ideas. This FOA is being used in conjunction with FOAs with identical scientific scopes, RFA-HG-11-013, that solicits applications under the R01 Research Project grant mechanism, and RFA-HG-11-015, that solicits applications under the R43/R44 Small Business Innovation Research grant mechanism. This solicitation continues a technology development effort initiated in 2003 as part of the ENCODE project.
