Opportunity Summary:
The Genome Sequencing Program Coordinating Center (U24) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HG-15-019) is a National Institutes of Health grant administered through the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). It uses the cooperative agreement mechanism, which means the awardee is expected to work closely with NHGRI program staff and the other funded groups as an active partner, rather than operating entirely independently. The goal is to support one Coordinating Center that will help hold together and streamline the operations of NHGRI's broader Genome Sequencing Program (GSP), a program that is structured around multiple major components working in parallel.
This Coordinating Center is meant to serve as the central organizing and management hub for the new GSP, which includes the Centers for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG; linked to RFA-HG-15-001) and the Centers for Mendelian Genomics (CMG; linked to RFA-HG-15-002), along with a planned analysis component. In practical terms, the Center would be expected to coordinate communication, planning, and day-to-day logistics across these large sequencing and analysis efforts so they operate like a single coherent program rather than disconnected projects. Because the GSP spans both common disease genomics and Mendelian (rare disease) genomics, the Coordinating Center role is especially important for aligning standards, timelines, data practices, and collaborative workflows across groups that may have different study designs, sample types, and analytical approaches.
The announcement indicates an expectation of a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of about $1,000,000. The opportunity is categorized under "Health" and is associated with CFDA 93.172 (Human Genome Research). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. Key dates included a posted and created date of March 25, 2015, an application due date of May 29, 2015, and an archive date of June 29, 2015, which reflects that the specific solicitation is no longer open but remains useful as a reference for program structure and expectations.
Eligibility is broad and covers a wide range of domestic organizations. Eligible applicant types include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and those without 501(c)(3) status), state, county, city/township, and special district governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. The eligibility section also explicitly calls out additional eligible categories such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. At the same time, foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; however, "foreign components" as defined under NIH policy are allowed, which typically means a U.S. applicant can propose certain well-justified project elements to be conducted abroad under NIH rules.
Overall, the grant is essentially about program-level coordination for a major national genomics initiative. Instead of paying for a sequencing center to generate data directly, the U24 Coordinating Center mechanism supports the infrastructure and leadership functions that make a multi-site genomics program run smoothly: organizing cross-center activities, facilitating consistent processes, enabling effective sharing of information, and helping the common disease genomics centers, Mendelian genomics centers, and analysis efforts operate under shared goals and aligned procedures. For complete details, the full funding announcement was hosted by NIH at the listed link (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HG-15-019.html), and NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) provided webmaster contact emails for access or linking issues.
