Description: The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) seeks applications for the production of High Quality Human Reference Genomes (HQRG) as a component of the NHGRI Human Genome Reference Program (HGRP). One aim of the HGRP is to develop a genome reference that is representative of human population genetic diversity. To help achieve this goal, this HQRG initiative is expected to establish metrics for high quality-genome assemblies; collaborate with other HGRC awardees on sample selection and prioritization; produce on the order of 350 haplotype-resolved human genomes, using diverse samples consented for full data release; and provide capacity to help resolve error reports received by the HGRC. This and related FOA&apos;s will replace and update NHGRI&apos;s current contributions to the Genome Reference Consortium https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.
