| Description: | National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is soliciting grant applications for the support of Centers of Excellence in Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) Research (CEERs). The CEER Program is designed to support the establishment of sustainable trans-disciplinary research teams with the expertise and flexibility to anticipate, conduct research on, and quickly address a range of cutting edge ethical, legal, and social issues related to genetics and genomics. The Program is intended to create new research opportunities that cross disciplinary boundaries among investigators in diverse fields, such as the genomic sciences, clinical research, clinical and health policy, ethics, law, the humanities, economics, political science, anthropology and other social sciences. In addition to conducting trans-disciplinary research, Centers will disseminate their research findings as well as facilitate the use of their findings to develop relevant research, health and public policies and practices. Finally, Centers will contribute to developing the next generation of ELSI researchers. The NHGRI plans to maintain the CEER program at approximately its current level of funding through FY 2023. This FOA is being issued as a limited competition RFA. Only currently funded CEERs are eligible to compete for their final four-year renewal. Applications for new CEERs will not be accepted under this FOA. |
