This is a Request for Applications (RFA) announcement from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) for the development of informatics tools supporting pangenome reference implementation. The funding opportunity (RFA-HG-25-007) will be awarded as multiple U01 cooperative agreements to create tools enabling broad uptake and utilization of improved pangenome reference systems across clinical, population, and functional genomics sectors. Example tools include those for selecting optimal linear genomes, visualizing complex variations, and annotating regulatory elements and disease associations.

The opportunity is open to various applicant types including higher education institutions, nonprofits, government entities, tribal organizations, and businesses. It falls under multiple CFDA programs including Human Genome Research (93.172), Cancer Research programs (93.393-93.396, 93.399), and Aging Research (93.866). The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health is the awarding agency. This funding supports the renewal of the Human Genome Reference Program (HGRP) though specific award amounts and dates are not provided in this excerpt.
