At a glance
This program funds highly innovative research in computational genomics, including new data science, statistics, bioinformatics, and software approaches for human health and disease. It does not support clinical trials, and applications centered on microbial genomics, existing resources, controlled vocabularies, manual curation, or work that is not broadly generalizable are not responsive. A wide range of organizations may apply, including nonprofits, universities, governments, for-profit organizations, small businesses, and foreign organizations; foreign components are also allowed. Budgets are limited to less than $500,000 in direct costs per year, with a maximum project period of 5 years, and no cost sharing is required. The number of awards is not stated and depends on NIH appropriations and the number of meritorious applications.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite applications for a broad range of research efforts in computational genomics, data science, statistics, and bioinformatics relevant to one or both of basic or clinical genomic science, and broadly applicable to human health and disease. This FOA supports fundamental genomics research developing innovative analytical methodologies and approaches, early-stage development of tools and software, and refinement or hardening of software and tools of high value to the biomedical genomics community. Work supported under this FOA should be enabling for genomics and be generalizable or broadly applicable across diseases and biological systems. All applications should address how the methods would scale to address increasingly larger data sets.
