Description: The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is soliciting grant applications for the support of Specialized Centers (P50) of Excellence in Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) Research (CEERs). The CEER program is designed to develop and support trans-disciplinary research teams that have the expertise and flexibility to anticipate, conduct research on, and respond quickly to a range of ELSI issues related to the rapidly increasing availability and use of genomic approaches and information. CEERs are intended to provide an opportunity to cross disciplinary boundaries and create new research opportunities between and among investigators such as those in the basic genomic and social sciences, clinical and health policy research, ethics, law, the humanities, and various stakeholder communities. In addition, CEERs will play a role in ensuring that relevant ELSI research findings and deliberations are made available to policy makers as appropriate. Finally, CEERs will be responsible for contributing to training the next generation of ELSI researchers, with particular emphasis on training researchers from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds.
