Genomic Community Resources (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Background
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) supports genomic resources crucial for basic research, disease studies, model organism studies, and other biomedical research. The goal of this grant is to facilitate genomic research and the dissemination of its products by supporting the development and distribution of genomic resources that use cost-effective approaches and will be valuable for the broad research community.

Grant Details
Awards under this FOA will support the development and distribution of genomic resources that use cost-effective approaches and will be valuable for the broad research community. Such resources include databases and informatics resources, comprehensive identification and collections of genomic features, standard data types produced using central sets of samples, collections of analysis tools and software platforms, community data standards and ontologies, production of genomic data, and collections of samples or other biological materials. The major goal is to provide access to these genomic resources by the research community; data and resource dissemination should be a major component of these awards.

Eligibility Requirements
Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, nonprofits, for-profit organizations, state governments, federal agencies, U.S. territories or possessions, foreign institutions, and others. Individuals from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Period of Performance
