The National Plant Genome Initiative’s Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) continues to advance plant and agricultural sciences by supporting innovative research. This grant is for proposals that leverage existing genomic resources to address significant challenges in economically important plants on a genome-wide scale. It also seeks the development of novel tools and analytical methods for plant genome research. Strong, interdisciplinary training opportunities integrating fields like plant physiology, bioinformatics, and engineering are highly encouraged. Supported activities include genomics-empowered plant research, the creation of new genomic tools, and Mid-Career Investigator Awards to broaden participation. Proposals are welcomed from new participants, early-career investigators, and across all project scales, from single-investigator to multi-institutional collaborations.

| Description: | This program is a continuation of the Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) that began in FY 1998 as part of the National Plant Genome Initiative (NPGI). Since the inception of the NPGI and the PGRP, there has been a tremendous increase in the availability of functional genomics tools and sequence resources for use in the study of key crop plants and their models. Proposals are welcomed that build on these resources to develop conceptually new and different ideas and strategies to address grand challenge questions in plants of economic importance on a genome-wide scale. There is also a continued need for the development of novel and creative tools to facilitate new experimental approaches or new ways of analyzing genomic data. Especially encouraged are proposals that provide strong and novel training opportunities integral to the research plan and particularly across disciplines that include, but are not limited to, plant physiology, quantitative genetics, biochemistry, bioinformatics and engineering. Three kinds of activity will be supported in FY 2012: (1) Genomics-empowered plant research to tackle fundamental questions in plant and agricultural sciences on a genome-wide scale; (2) Development of tools and resources for plant genome research including novel technologies and analysis tools that will enable discovery; and (3) Mid-Career Investigator Awards in Plant Genome Research (MCA-PGR) to increase participation of investigators trained primarily in fields other than plant genomics. Proposals addressing these opportunities are welcomed at all scales, from single-investigator projects through multi-investigator, multi-institution projects, commensurate with the scope of the work proposed. The PGRP encourages proposals from investigators and institutions that have not participated in the program before. Proposals are encouraged from early-career investigators and proposals submitted to the CAREER program (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214&org=BIO) are considered by the PGRP. Early-career investigators are strongly encouraged to contact a PGRP Program Director for further guidance. |
