Genomic Community Resources (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The Genomic Community Resources grant (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) is designed to both facilitate genomic research and distribute its findings to the wider biomedical research field. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is interested in supporting both new and established genomic resources that have proven to be of substantial value to the research community. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will assist in creating and distributing genomic resources that will be crucial in both clinical and basic genomic research.

These resources will particularly encompass: genomic informatics toolsets like biomedical ontologies and analysis toolsets, comprehensive identification and collections of genomic features such as functional genomic elements and genetic assay outcomes. It will also provide support for efforts to build the genomic community, like setting industry standards. In addition, the grant will support sample repositories for genomic research, for example, cell line repositories for high-value samples.
