The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications related to the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genomics. Genomics has the potential to improve human health and well-being. Driven by advances in technology and analysis, genomics is being integrated into large swaths of biomedical research and medical practice and is impacting society more broadly than ever.

The wide reach of genomics highlights the need to anticipate and address the ethical, legal, and social implications created by new knowledge, data, and technical advances. The NHGRI and partner Institutes, Centers, and Offices support research to identify, examine, and address the impact of genomics on individuals, institutions, and society.  

This forecast is not a solicitation for applications. This forecast is being provided to allow potential applicants time to develop collaborations and responsive projects.

Applications from a wide array of academic disciplines are encouraged to foster replicable approaches that yield comprehensive and robust findings.

City of Spruce Grove - Request for Proposal - Community Health Needs Assessment
Solicitation # AB-2026-06004
The City of Spruce Grove is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a Community Health Needs Assessment for the city and its surrounding region. The primary objective is to analyze population trends, clinical service utilization, and healthcare demand to identify existing gaps in care. A central focus of this assessment is to determine through evidence-based findings whether there is a demonstrated need for a 24-hour Urgent Care Centre and how such a facility would integrate with existing services, including the Westview Health Centre. The selected consultant will collaborate with municipal partners, provincial health representatives, physicians, and Indigenous health leadership to provide an objective conclusion on regional healthcare needs. If the data does not support an Urgent Care Centre, the consultant must identify other critical clinical service gaps. This project, identified by solicitation number AB-2026-06004, aims to establish a foundation for future advocacy and planning with provincial decision-makers. Proposals are due by September 21, 2026.
