AI Contract Overview
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to establish an Ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) Coordination Center. This initiative aims to create an ethical and well-coordinated resource of ancient and historical human DNA data to support research into modern human traits and biology. The Coordination Center will facilitate collaboration among researchers and local communities, oversee program activities, and manage the identification of both existing and new sources of ancient DNA data. This upcoming funding opportunity, which will use the U24 activity code, encourages investigators with expertise in ancient DNA, population genomics, DNA sequencing technology, computational genomics, data science, human evolution, and studies of ancient human populations to prepare their applications. The announcement serves as notice to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful partnerships and competitive proposals. Applications are not yet being accepted, but interested researchers are advised to begin planning collaborative projects in anticipation of the NOFO release. The point of contact for inquiries is Jennifer Troyer at NHGRI.

Full Description
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to establish an ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) program. The goal of aDMG is to establish an ethical resource of ancient and historical human DNA (aDNA) data to advance studies about contemporary human traits and biology. The Coordinating Center would work with researchers and local communities to identify existing and new sources of aDNA and provide oversight and coordination of program activities across all components. 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. This NOFO will utilize the U24 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of ancient DNA and population genomics are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO. In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in DNA sequencing methods and technology, computational genomics and data science, human evolution, and ancient human populations will be encouraged and these investigators should also begin considering applying for this application.
