The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development is offering a grant to establish expert panels for selecting genes and genomic variants related to high-priority diseases. The panels will assess the clinical significance and utility of these variants for diagnosis and treatment. Utilizing resources like ClinGen and ClinVar, the panels will evaluate evidence to support the development of clinical guidelines. Applications for this grant must be submitted before January 10, 2017.

| Description: | The objective of this FOA is to establish expert panels that will select genes and genomic variants associated with diseases or conditions of high priority to NICHD and systematically determine their clinical significance and utility for diagnosis and treatment of these diseases or conditions. The Genomic Clinical Variant Expert Curation Panels funded through this FOA are expected to utilize the NHGRI Clinical Genomics Resource (ClinGen) and the NCBI ClinVar tools and informatics infrastructure to determine the strength of evidence supporting the clinical significance or actionability of the selected genes and variants that will support development of clinical practice guidelines. |
