This U54 grant, offered by the ENCODE Project, aims to significantly expand the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) and modENCODE catalogs. These established projects have already identified a substantial portion of functional elements in human and model organism genomes, crucial for advancing basic biological knowledge and interpreting disease-mapping studies. This grant is for research projects that will employ high-throughput, cost-efficient, state-of-the-art technologies to create comprehensive catalogs of these functional elements. The funded initiatives will integrate into a unified Research Network, merging existing ENCODE and modENCODE Consortia, to accelerate the discovery and annotation of these vital genomic elements.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) Small businesses Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Public and State controlled institutions of higher education Independent school districts Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities Others (see text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” for clarification) City or township governments Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education Special district governments For profit organizations other than small businesses County governments Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) Private institutions of higher education State governments |

| Description: | The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) and modENCODE Projects have, since their inception, cataloged a significant fraction of the functional elements in the human and well-studied model organism genomes, respectively, and these catalogs are increasingly being used by the research community to expand on basic biological knowledge and to interpret the results of disease-mapping studies. The purpose of this FOA is to solicit applications for research projects to apply high-throughput, cost-efficient approaches to greatly extend these resources toward as complete catalogs as is feasible employing state-of-the-art technologies. The funded projects will participate in a single Research Network that will be a consolidation of the existing ENCODE and modENCODE Research Consortia. |
