OpportunityTitle: Revolutionary Genome Sequencing Technologies  The $1000 Genome (SBIR [R43/R44])
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Other Eligible Applicants include the following:  Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are not eligible to apply.   Non-domestic (non-U.S.) components of U.S. Organizations are not eligible to apply.  Foreign components, as defined in the NIH Grants Policy Statement, may be allowed.
Description: The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) solicits SBIR (R43/R44) grant applications to develop novel technologies that will enable extremely low-cost, high quality DNA sequencing. The goal of this initiative is to reduce the cost of sequencing a mammalian-sized genome to approximately $1000. Applicants may propose to develop full-scale sequencing systems or to investigate challenges underlying key system components. Exploration of methods other than those currently being pursued as potential $1,000 genome technologies is encouraged. High-risk/high-payoff applications are appropriate to achieve the goals of this FOA.
