Genomic Resource Grants for Community Resource Projects (U41)

Genomic research has had substantial impact on biomedical research, in large part because of the open sharing of data (often prior to publication) and resources with the greater research community. To facilitate genomic research and the dissemination of its products, NHGRI supports resources that are crucial for disease studies, model organism studies, and other biomedical research. Awards under this FOA will support the development and distribution of genomic resources that will be available to and valuable for the broad research community, using cost-effective approaches. Such resources include (but are not limited to) informatics resources (such as human and model organism databases, ontologies, and coordinated sets of analysis tools), comprehensive identification and collections of genomic features (such as structural variants or functional genomic elements), and standard data types produced for central sets of samples (such as 1000 Genomes or GTEx samples).
