The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has released a funding opportunity announcement (NOFO) focusing on research into the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genetic and genomic studies. This initiative aims to encourage exploratory and developmental research that addresses emerging ELSI questions as genomics increasingly intersects with biomedical research and healthcare. The opportunity is open to diverse applicants across disciplines including bioethics, social sciences, and health services, promoting multidisciplinary collaboration. Applications should utilize innovative methods and direct community involvement is encouraged. Key dates include an open application period beginning on January 19, 2024, with various review timelines.
