About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering the Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) grant opportunity to support genome-scale research addressing important biological, societal, and economic questions. The program encourages the development of innovative tools, technologies, and resources to empower the broader plant research community. Emphasis is placed on the scale and depth of the scientific questions and the creativity of the approach. The program has two funding tracks: (1) Genome-scale plant research to address fundamental biology, including processes of economic/societal importance, and (2) Tools, resources, and technology breakthroughs to enable functional plant genomics.
The grant awards can range from approximately $240,000 to over $1.5 million, with project durations spanning 2-5 years. The research is expected to be primarily conducted at academic institutions across the United States, with a focus on advancing scientific discovery, enhancing understanding of biological systems, and developing innovative approaches to address complex biological challenges.
Synopsis
The Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) supports genome-scale research that addresses challenging questions of biological, societal and economic importance. PGRP encourages the development of innovative tools, technologies and resources that empower a broad plant research community to answer scientific questions on a genome-wide scale. Emphasis is placed on the scale and depth of the question being addressed and the creativity of the approach. Data produced by plant genomics should be usable, accessible, integrated across scales and of high impact across biology. Training, broadening participation, and career development are essential to scientific progress and should be integrated in all PGRP-funded projects. Two funding tracks are currently available:
1. RESEARCH-PGR TRACK: Genome-scale plant research to address fundamental questions in biology, including processes of economic and/or societal importance.
2. TRTech-PGR TRACK: Tools, resources and technology breakthroughs that further enable functional plant genomics.
