Research Initiative Details

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is intended to support early career researchers as they begin to establish a vibrant, independent research program in genomics. Consistent with this, applicants must have Early Stage Investigator (ESI) status as defined by the NIH. NHGRI is committed to building a diverse community of genomics researchers, and welcomes applications from early stage investigators with a long-term interest in pursuing genomics research, including individuals from groups typically underrepresented in biomedical research, individuals at institutions that have not traditionally received significant funding from NHGRI, and individuals who have not previously been involved in NHGRI-funded research efforts.

Applicants must propose a defined research project that is responsive to the mission of NHGRI. This includes the development of resources, approaches, and technologies that accelerate and support studies focused on the structure and biology of genomes; the genomics of disease; the implementation and effectiveness of genomic medicine; genomic data science and bioinformatics; and ethical, legal, and social issues related to genomic advances.
