Description
This opportunity, offered by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and participating NIH institutes, funds the development, maintenance, and dissemination of genomic community resources. The goal is to facilitate genomic research and ensure that valuable resources—such as data, tools, standards, and biological materials—are broadly available to the biomedical research community. Projects may support new or existing resources of demonstrated or potential broad value, with a strong emphasis on open sharing, scalability, and community engagement.
Resources supported may include:
- Genomic informatics toolsets (e.g., analysis platforms, ontologies)
- Comprehensive collections of genomic features or data (e.g., functional elements, assay results)
- Community standards and data/metadata ontologies
- Sample or cell line repositories
- Competitions or collaborative activities to advance genomic analysis tools
NHGRI expects funded resources to be widely used, interoperable, and to advance community standards. Projects should not be limited to a single disease or narrow biological question.
