NHGRI seeks applications for a coordinating center (DACC) to manage data, organize activities, and maximize the impact of the IGVF Consortium, with funding expected in 2025.
Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates: December 14, 2026 (Applications)
Funding Amounts: $6,000,000 estimated total funding; $4,000,000 award ceiling; 2 expected awards
Summary: Supports the IGVF Data and Coordinating Center to develop accessible genomic variation resources and coordinate consortium activities.
Key Information: Clinical trials are not allowed, and applications involving foreign subawards or subcontracts will not be considered for funding.
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of NIH, is soliciting applications for the Impact of Genomic Variation on Function (IGVF) Data and Coordinating Center (DACC). The center will coordinate the IGVF Consortium and expand broadly accessible resources, including a data portal and a comprehensive, searchable catalog of measured and predicted variant impacts.
The DACC will seek input from the broader research community on the catalog’s design, organize and facilitate consortium activities, and pursue opportunities to work with other programs and consortia. As an IGVF member, it will collaborate with all consortium members to maximize the consortium’s scientific impact and accelerate understanding of genomic variation. Funding is offered through a U24 cooperative agreement.
