Opportunity Summary:
The Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Network, Phase II Coordinating Center (U01) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-HG-10-010) was issued by the National Institutes of Health under the Human Genome Research program (CFDA 93.172). Its main goal is to fund a single Coordinating Center that acts as the hub for eMERGE Phase II, providing centralized coordination and shared resources so the network can expand and move beyond earlier research demonstrations into broader clinical research and real-world clinical care. In practical terms, the Coordinating Center is expected to help the Phase II network take the advanced methods and lessons developed in eMERGE Phase I and implement them at scale, supporting the integration of genomics with electronic medical records in ways that are useful for both research and patient care.
This funding uses a U01 Cooperative Agreement mechanism, which typically signals that the project will involve substantial involvement from the NIH program team compared to a standard research project grant. The Coordinating Center is therefore not just funded to operate independently; it is funded to work in close partnership with NIH and participating sites to keep the network aligned, productive, and able to meet shared milestones. As a centralized resource, the Coordinating Center role generally implies responsibilities such as organizing network-wide activities, supporting collaboration across multiple institutions, standardizing approaches and workflows, and facilitating consistent communication, reporting, and coordination across the different components of the eMERGE consortium as it expands in Phase II.
The FOA set an estimated total funding level of $3,500,000 and anticipated making one award. The listed award ceiling is $550,000, indicating a cap on the amount that could be awarded per year or per budget period depending on how the announcement structured the project period. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding activity in health, and it was posted and created on July 15, 2010. The original and current closing date was November 17, 2010, with an archive date of December 18, 2010, meaning the competition is long closed but remains accessible for reference.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of organization types: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) nonprofits), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), and other eligible applicants described in the announcement. Additional eligible categories explicitly included Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, and eligible federal agencies. This wide eligibility reflects the consortium-style nature of eMERGE, where coordinating functions can plausibly be housed in academic, nonprofit, governmental, or other research-capable administrative environments.
For applicants or readers seeking the full official text, the FOA pointed to the NIH grants guide page for RFA-HG-10-010 and provided NIH Office of Extramural Research webmaster contacts for technical access or linking problems. Overall, the opportunity centered on building the operational and scientific infrastructure needed to coordinate eMERGE Phase II and accelerate the translation of EMR-linked genomics methods from Phase I into expanded, networked clinical research and clinical care settings.
