    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announces a funding opportunity for Small Research Grants (R03) focusing on the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) of human genetic and genomic research. This initiative encourages applications that address ELSI issues, particularly from diverse academic disciplines. Projects may range from conceptual analyses to empirical studies and should involve community engagement where possible. Funded studies are aimed at advancing the NHGRI's mission to enhance genomic research's societal understanding. The grant supports projects with budgets up to $50,000 annually for a maximum of two years. Categories eligible for funding include higher education institutions, nonprofits, and tribal governments. Importantly, the R03 mechanism is designed for smaller projects, while related larger funding opportunities (R21/R01 grants) are available for exploratory or extensive studies. The overall goal is to enhance resources and strategies that address emerging ELSI aspects in genomics, promote equitable healthcare access, and tackle disparities in genomic research and its applications.
