ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) Research Projects (U01 Clinical Trials Not Allowed)
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 initiative aims to create an ethical repository of ancient and historical human DNA data to facilitate research into contemporary human traits and biology. The program seeks applications that utilize both existing and newly generated ancient DNA data to enhance understanding of modern human diseases and health traits by integrating these data with those from modern humans and other species. The funding opportunity will be released using the U01 activity code, and no clinical trials are allowed under this solicitation. Investigators with expertise in ancient DNA, population genomics, DNA sequencing technology, computational genomics, data science, human evolution, and ancient human populations are encouraged to apply. Collaborative research efforts that combine these areas of expertise will be particularly welcomed. This notice is intended to give potential applicants sufficient time to form meaningful collaborations and develop responsive proposals that align with the goals of the aDMG program. Interested parties can contact NHGRI Research Funding via email for further information and updates.

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. This NOFO aims to solicit applications that will leverage existing and newly generated aDNA data from this consortium to advance the biological and epidemiological understanding of modern human diseases and health-related traits by integrating aDNA with modern human and other species’ data. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the U01 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.
