This National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant establishes Diversity Centers for Genome Research (DCGR) at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). These MSIs must serve historically underrepresented populations, award health-related doctorate degrees, and meet specific NIH funding thresholds. The UG3/UH3 cooperative agreements support developing multi-investigator, interdisciplinary teams. Grantees will establish administrative, genomic workforce development, and community engagement cores, alongside 2-3 innovative genomic research projects. Projects should address critical issues like genomic technology, disease genomics, clinical application, data science, ethical implications, and health equity. A key program goal is to expand the pool of diverse genomic scientists, clinician-scientists, and researchers through didactic and practical experiences aligned with research. This funding prepares institutions for full-scale DCGR operations.

| Description: | Funding Opportunity PurposeThe full-scale Diversity Centers for Genome Research (DCGR) program aims to establish Genomic Research Centers at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) as defined in Part 2, section III of the FOA. The MSIs must have a mission to serve historically underrepresented populations in biomedical research that award doctorate degrees in the health professions or the sciences related to health, and have received an average of less than $50 million per year in NIH support and less than $25 million per year of R01 total cost of NIH support for the past three fiscal years. The purpose of this FOA is to call for applications for UG3/UH3 cooperative agreements to support the development and planning for a multi-investigator, interdisciplinary team to develop administrative, genomic workforce development and community engagement cores and 2-3 interrelated, innovative genomic research projects that address one or more critical issues in genomics including: genomic technology and methods development; genome structure; genome function; genomics of disease; use and impact of genomic information in clinical care; genomic data science and computational genomics, ethical, legal, and social implications of genomic research (ELSI); and/or genomics and health equity. The outcome of the development and feasibility studies will be fully developed plans to carry out all activities of a full-scale Diversity Center for Genome Research. Along with its scientific goals, the DCGR should expand the pool of diverse genomic scientists, clinician scientists, and researchers who can perform innovative genomics research by providing didactic, practicum and research activities and experiences that are aligned with the research projects. |
