AI Contract Overview
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) plans to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity aimed at establishing Centers for Genomics Research Capacity Building. The initiative seeks to support genomic research centers at biomedical institutions that grant doctorate degrees in health-related fields and have received comparatively moderate NIH funding—specifically under $50 million annually in total NIH support and less than $25 million annually from R01 grants over the past three years. Each funded center will consist of a multi-investigator, interdisciplinary team charged with developing two to three innovative, interconnected genomic research projects. These projects should focus on critical areas such as genomic technology and methods, genome structure and function, disease genomics, clinical application of genomic information, computational genomics, ethical/legal/social issues related to genomics, and the impact of genomics on health outcomes. In addition to advancing scientific research, the Centers are expected to foster the growth of the genomic science workforce by offering educational and research experiences aligned with their project goals. Although applications are not currently being solicited, this notice provides potential applicants ample time to form collaborations and design responsive projects. NHGRI encourages investigators with expertise across all facets of genomics, as well as those with strengths in computational science, epidemiology, functional studies, disease biology, clinical care, ethical/legal/social implications, and implementation science, to prepare to apply. This focuses on encouraging multidisciplinary efforts to push the field of genomics forward while building capacity at institutions with emerging programs.

Full Description
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.
