The National Human Genome Research Institute is offering the Exploratory Centers of Excellence in ELSI Research (CEER) Grant (P20) to support the development of trans-disciplinary research teams focusing on Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) related to genomics. This grant aims to expand existing resources at institutions to facilitate the creation of Specialized Center (P50) CEER applications. The program encourages collaboration across various disciplines including genomic sciences, ethics, law, and health policy research to address emerging ELSI issues in genomics and ensure research findings reach policymakers. Application deadline: Jul 19, 2012.

| Description:: | The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is soliciting grant applications for the support of Exploratory Centers (P20) of Excellence in Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) Research (CEERs). Exploratory Centers will support expanding or modifying existing resources at an institution for the purpose of developing a Specialized Center (P50) CEER application. The CEER program is designed to develop and support trans-disciplinary research teams that have the expertise and flexibility to anticipate, conduct research on, and respond quickly to a range of ELSI issues related to the rapidly increasing availability and use of genomic approaches and information. CEERs are intended to provide an opportunity to cross disciplinary boundaries and create new research opportunities between and among investigators such as those in the basic genomic and social sciences, clinical and health policy research, ethics, law, the humanities, and various stakeholder communities. In addition, CEERs will play a role in ensuring that relevant ELSI research findings and deliberations are made available to policy makers as appropriate. |
