The National Institutes of Health is offering the Genomic Centers for Infectious Diseases (GCID) grant to support the application of genomics technologies in understanding infectious diseases. This grant aims to develop genomics-based tools for diagnosing, preventing, and treating infectious diseases, focusing on pathogens, host interactions, and microbiomes. The GCID will facilitate technology development, synthesis, genome editing, and functional genomics to address key questions in host-pathogen interactions. The initiative encourages wide dissemination of research findings, data, analytical tools, and protocols to benefit the scientific community.

Additional Information
| Agency Name: | National Institutes of Health |
| Description: | The purpose of this initiative is to support Genomic Centers for Infectious Diseases (GCID) to promote broad use and expand the application of genomics technologies and computational analysis to understand infectious diseases, with an emphasis on pathogens, their interaction with the host and microbiome, and to aid in the development of novel genomics-based tools to diagnose, prevent and treat infectious diseases. The GCID will support innovative technology development in all aspects of genomics, including the use of synthetic and genome editing technologies as well as functional genomics to address basic, translational, and clinically relevant questions in host-pathogen interactions. The knowledge generated, including research data, analytical software tools, computational models, experimental protocols, and reagents, is expected to be widely disseminated to the scientific community through publicly accessible databases and reagent repositories. |
