ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) Data Generation and Resource Center
Contract Overview
Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.
AI Contract Overview
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to establish the ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) program. This program aims to create an ethical resource of ancient and historical human DNA data to support research on contemporary human traits and biology. The Data Generation and Resource Center established under this program will be responsible for producing high-quality whole-genome sequence data from approved ancient DNA sources and integrating this data with existing datasets to form a centralized data portal. Although applications are not currently being solicited, this announcement is intended to give prospective applicants ample time to form collaborations and develop project proposals. The NOFO will use the U24 activity code, targeting investigators with expertise in ancient DNA and population genomics, as well as those skilled in DNA sequencing, computational genomics, data science, human evolution, and studies of ancient human populations. Collaborative projects that combine these areas of expertise are encouraged. The effort underscores a multidisciplinary approach to advance understanding of human biology through the lens of ancient genetic information, with Jennifer Troyer of NHGRI serving as the contact point for inquiries. The funding opportunity is expected to be officially posted after the notice date, allowing researchers to prepare for submission.

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 Data Generation and Resource Center would Produce high-quality, whole-genome sequence data from approved aDNA sources and harmonize with existing data to create a centralized data portal. 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.
