On February 10, 2011, Nature magazine published the NHGRI’s strategic plan for the future of human genome research called, "Charting a course for genomic medicine from base pairs to bedside." (http://www.genome.gov/Pages/About/Planning/2011NHGRIStrategicPlan.pdf). New Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) will be issued in the summer of 2011 that will describe more fully the areas of research that are of interest to the sponsoring NIH institutes.

For a preliminary list of research topics that are based on the new strategic plan and are currently of interest to NHGRI, please visit the NHGRI ELSI Research Priorities and Possible Research Topics website: http://www.genome.gov/27543732.

For specific areas of interest to NICHD, please visit the NICHD website: http://www.nichd.nih.gov/.

In addition, the research topics in the ELSI Regular Research Grant (R01) and Small Research Grant (R03) funding announcements listed below continue to be of interest to many of the sponsoring Institutes and Centers (please check the individual notices and contact the relevant program contacts to see which Institutes are interested in accepting grants using either the R01 or R03 mechanism):
