About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to solicit applications under Assistance Listing 93.172 to establish a Coordination Center for the ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) program; a Notice of Funding Opportunity has not yet been published and applications are not being solicited at this time. The cooperative agreement will fund a Coordinating Center to work with researchers and local communities to identify existing and new sources of ancient and historical human DNA (aDNA), provide oversight, and coordinate program activities across all aDMG components. The aDMG program aims to establish an ethical resource of aDNA data to advance studies of contemporary human traits and biology.
Ten applicant categories are eligible, including county and state governments, federally recognized and non-federally recognized tribal organizations, higher education institutions (public and private), nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, small businesses, independent school districts, and public or Indian housing authorities. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement with U24 activity code.
The source does not specify the award ceiling, award floor, expected number of awards, period of performance, place of performance, cost share requirements, evaluation criteria, or timeline for NOFO publication. NHGRI is providing notice to allow potential applicants time to develop meaningful collaborations. Investigators with expertise in ancient DNA, population genomics, DNA sequencing methods, computational genomics and data science, human evolution, and ancient human populations are encouraged to consider applying.
Forecast synopsis
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 Coordinating Center would work with researchers and local communities to identify existing and new sources of aDNA and provide oversight and coordination of program activities across all components. 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.
