NOT-HG-20-013 - Notice of Change: Emphasizing an Opportunity for New Institutional Applicants in Response to PAR-19-204 Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science (RM1 Clinical Trial Optional)
PAR-19-204 - Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science (RM1 Clinical Trial Optional)
National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)
As part of the Centers of Excellence in Genomic Sciences (CEGS) Funding Opportunity Announcement cited above, NHGRI will provide new support for high-quality applications from institutions that have not previously been funded under the CEGS program (see Related Announcements). This change is intended to be responsive to language in the US FY2020 budget to establish “Emerging Centers of Excellence in Genomic Science”, which has the purpose of building genomics capacity at institutions that are not prior or current grantees of the CEGS program. Additional funds are available in FY 2021 for this purpose.
To encourage these applications for funding in FY 2021, NHGRI is adding an additional receipt date (November 20, 2020) to the existing CEGS PAR-19-204 . As described in NOT-HG-20-013, which modified the application Selection Criteria, we emphasize our interest in applications from institutions that are not prior or current grantees of the CEGS program. The CEGS program will still consider high-quality applications from all eligible institutions listed in PAR-19-204.
