The purpose of this renewing Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support investigator-initiated research efforts fostering innovation in computational genomics, data science, statistics, bioinformatics, and data visualization and exploration. This NOFO supports development of innovative analytical methodologies and approaches and early-stage tools and software for genomics, rather than incremental advances or modification and application of existing approaches. Projects should be enabling for genomics research, broadly applicable to human health and disease, and generalizable across diseases and biological systems.
Although this funding opportunity uses the R01 mechanism, it runs in parallel with a program announcement of identical scientific scope,
PAR-25-229, which uses the R21 mechanism.
Deadlines:
- R01 Due Date(s): Feb 5, Jun 5, Oct 5
R21 Due Dates: Feb. 16, Jun. 16, Oct. 16
PAR-25-228 Expiration Date September 08, 2027
Application budgets are limited to less than $500,000 in direct costs per year and need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
The scope of the proposed project should determine the project period. The maximum project period is 5 years. NHGRI typically funds early-stage investigators for 5 years and established investigator R01s for 4 or fewer years.
