The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is offering a grant for the production of High Quality Human Reference Genomes as part of the NHGRI Human Genome Reference Program. The aim is to develop a genome reference reflecting human population genetic diversity, by creating at least 350 haplotype-resolved human genomes from diverse samples. The initiative includes establishing quality metrics, collaborating with other awardees, and addressing error reports. Applications should align with NHGRI’s efforts to enhance the Genome Reference Consortium.

| Description: | The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) seeks applications for the production of High Quality Human Reference Genomes (HQRG) as a component of the NHGRI Human Genome Reference Program (HGRP). One aim of the HGRP is to develop a genome reference that is representative of human population genetic diversity. To help achieve this goal, this HQRG initiative is expected to establish metrics for high quality-genome assemblies; collaborate with other HGRC awardees on sample selection and prioritization; produce on the order of 350 haplotype-resolved human genomes, using diverse samples consented for full data release; and provide capacity to help resolve error reports received by the HGRC. This and related FOA’s will replace and update NHGRI’s current contributions to the Genome Reference Consortium https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. |
