About this program
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to establish an ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) program. The goal of aDMG is to establish an ethical resource of ancient and historical human DNA (aDNA) data to advance studies about contemporary human traits and biology. The Coordinating Center would work with researchers and local communities to identify existing and new sources of aDNA and provide oversight and coordination of program activities across all components. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO will utilize the U24 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of ancient DNA and population genomics are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO. In addition, collaborative investigations combining expertise in DNA sequencing methods and technology, computational genomics and data science, human evolution, and ancient human populations will be encouraged and these investigators should also begin considering applying for this application.
