The NIH is offering a research grant through the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program for the genetic study of childhood cancers and structural birth defects. Researchers can submit samples for whole genome sequencing at a Kids First-supported center to investigate genetic contributions to pediatric cancers or genetic causes of birth defects. The grant aims to expand the Kids First Data Resource by including data from pediatric cohorts, potentially offering sequencing for tumors or affected tissues. Applications are open with a closing date of Feb 21, 2019.

| Description: | As part of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (Kids First), the NIH invites applications to submit samples from pediatric cohorts for whole genome sequencing at a Kids First-supported sequencing center. Applicants are encouraged to propose sequencing of existing pediatric cancer cohorts to elucidate the genetic contribution to childhood cancers, or to expand the range of disorders included within the Kids First Data Resource to investigate the genetic etiology of structural birth defects. Whole genome, exome, and transcriptome sequencing may be available for tumor or affected tissue when justified. These data will become part of the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Data Resource (Kids First Data Resource) for the pediatric research community. |
