About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is forecasting a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications for the ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) research program using the U01 cooperative agreement activity code; clinical trials are not allowed. The program will establish an ethical resource of ancient and historical human DNA data to advance studies of contemporary human traits and biology by integrating aDNA with modern human and other species' data. No application deadline is specified in this forecast notice.
Eligible applicants include state governments, local governments, tribal organizations (both federally and non-federally recognized), higher education institutions (public and private), nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations, small businesses, special district governments, independent school districts, public or Indian housing authorities, faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, U.S. territories and possessions, and non-domestic entities.
NHGRI anticipates that successful applications will leverage existing and newly generated aDNA data from the consortium to advance biological and epidemiological understanding of modern human diseases and health-related traits. Collaborative investigations combining expertise in DNA sequencing methods and technology, computational genomics and data science, human evolution, and ancient human populations are encouraged. The program operates under Assistance Listing 93.172 (Human Genome Research). The NHGRI manages the program's portfolio; typical timelines from submission to award for individual and project grants approximate nine months. Awards will be issued throughout the year based on scientific and technical merit review, program relevance, program balance, and fund availability.
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. 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.
