Summary
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to provide capacity building for genomics research. The Centers for Genomics Research Capacity Building will support Genomic Research Centers at biomedical research institutions that award doctorate degrees in the health professions or the sciences related to health, and have received an average of less than $50 million per year in NIH support and less than $25 million per year of R01 total cost of NIH support for the past three fiscal years. Each award will support a multi-investigator, interdisciplinary team to develop 2-3 interrelated, innovative genomic research projects. Each project should address one or more critical issues in genomics including: genomic technology and methods development; genome structure; genome function; genomics of disease; use and impact of genomic information in clinical care; genomic data science and computational genomics; ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genomic research; and/or genomics and health outcomes. Along with its scientific goals, the Centers should expand the pool of genomic scientists, clinician scientists, and researchers who can perform innovative genomics research by providing didactic, practicum and research activities and experiences that are aligned with the research projects. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. Investigators with expertise and insights into all aspects of genomics research are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO. In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in genomics with expertise in computational science, epidemiology, functional studies, biology of disease, clinical care, ELSI, and implementation science will be encouraged, so these investigators should also begin considering applying for this application.
