Opportunity Summary:
The Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) High Throughput Genotyping and Sequencing Resource Access (X01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-11-210) is an NIH-wide resource program managed by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) that gives approved investigators access to CIDR's large-scale genotyping, sequencing, and related statistical genetics support. The main purpose is to accelerate discovery of genes and genetic variants that influence human health and disease by providing centralized, high-capacity services that are often impractical for individual labs to perform on their own due to cost, throughput, specialized expertise, or technology requirements. In practice, this mechanism is meant to let researchers bring well-justified study questions and appropriate samples or datasets, and then use CIDR's current high-throughput platforms and analytical support to generate high-quality genetic data and help interpret it within a statistical genetics framework.
From a program standpoint, this is categorized as a discretionary grant opportunity under the NIH, with the activity and topic area aligned to human genome research (CFDA 93.172). The emphasis is not simply on producing data, but on enabling studies where modern genotyping and sequencing (and the downstream statistical genetics work that makes those data meaningful) can materially improve the ability to identify genetic contributors to disease risk, traits, and other clinically or biologically important outcomes. The announcement notes that CIDR focuses primarily on needs that cannot be readily handled by investigator laboratories, which signals that applicants should be prepared to explain why CIDR's scale, technology, and expertise are necessary for the proposed work, and why alternative approaches would not be as feasible or efficient.
The opportunity is broadly open in terms of who can apply. Eligible applicant types listed include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and multiple levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district). It also explicitly extends eligibility to a wide range of other organizations, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), federally recognized and other tribal governments, U.S. territories or possessions, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, eligible federal agencies, and even non-U.S. (foreign) entities. The breadth of the eligibility language suggests the program is oriented around the scientific merit and feasibility of proposed genetic studies rather than limiting access to a narrow set of institution types.
Administratively, the posting date is listed as April 29, 2011, with a creation date of May 6, 2014. The opportunity shows an original closing date of July 1, 2014, a current closing date of May 6, 2014, and an archive date of June 6, 2014, meaning this specific announcement is no longer open for new submissions under those dates. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. For investigators looking to understand what CIDR can do in practical terms, the announcement points to CIDR's website (http://www.cidr.jhmi.edu) for current, up-to-date information on platforms, genotyping and sequencing options, and service capabilities, which is important because CIDR technologies and workflows can evolve over time as the field changes.

FAQs: Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) High Throughput Genotyping and Sequencing Resource Access (X01) - PAR-11-210
What is the CIDR High Throughput Genotyping and Sequencing Resource Access (X01) opportunity?
It is an NIH-wide resource program managed by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) that provides approved investigators access to CIDR's large-scale genotyping, sequencing, and related statistical genetics support.
What is the Funding Opportunity Number for this program?
The Funding Opportunity Number is PAR-11-210.
What does the X01 mechanism provide?
This mechanism provides access to centralized, high-capacity CIDR services for high-throughput genotyping, sequencing, and statistical genetics support, rather than relying on investigators to perform these activities entirely within their own laboratories.
What is CIDR?
CIDR (the Center for Inherited Disease Research) is a centralized resource that offers large-scale genotyping, sequencing, and statistical genetics support intended to help investigators generate and interpret high-quality genetic data.
What is the main purpose of this opportunity?
The main purpose is to accelerate discovery of genes and genetic variants that influence human health and disease by providing services that are often impractical for individual labs due to cost, throughput, specialized expertise, or technology requirements.
What kinds of research goals is this opportunity meant to support?
It is meant to enable studies where modern genotyping and sequencing, along with downstream statistical genetics analysis, can materially improve the ability to identify genetic contributors to disease risk, traits, and other clinically or biologically important outcomes.
Is the emphasis only on generating genetic data?
No. The emphasis is not simply on producing data, but on enabling studies where genotyping/sequencing and the statistical genetics work that makes those data meaningful can improve discovery of genetic contributors to health and disease.
Why would an investigator use CIDR instead of doing the work in their own lab?
The announcement indicates CIDR focuses primarily on needs that cannot be readily handled by investigator laboratories, for example due to cost constraints, throughput limitations, specialized expertise requirements, or technology needs. Applicants are expected to justify why CIDR's scale, technology, and expertise are necessary for the proposed work and why alternatives would be less feasible or efficient.
What do investigators typically bring to this resource program?
In practice, investigators are expected to bring well-justified study questions and appropriate samples or datasets, and then use CIDR's high-throughput platforms and analytical support to generate and interpret genetic data.
What types of services does CIDR provide under this opportunity?
The opportunity describes access to large-scale genotyping and sequencing, along with related statistical genetics support to help interpret results within a statistical genetics framework.
Which NIH institute manages this NIH-wide program?
The program is managed by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).
How is this opportunity categorized within NIH?
It is described as a discretionary grant opportunity under NIH, aligned to human genome research.
What is the CFDA number and topic area referenced for this opportunity?
