    The Department of Health and Human Services is announcing a funding opportunity under the National Institutes of Health, specifically for screening and functional validation of genomic variants associated with human congenital anomalies. This initiative, under the R01 Research Project Grant, aims to leverage advances in genomic technologies to identify genetic variants linked to structural congenital anomalies, intellectual developmental disabilities, and inborn errors of metabolism. By utilizing public databases, investigators are encouraged to conduct laboratory and mechanistic studies to validate these variants. The goal is to bridge the gap between identifying genetic sequence variations and establishing their functional effects on human health. Grant applications should focus on prioritizing and screening genomic variants using advanced in-silico and model organism approaches, supplying comprehensive methodologies for validation. Eligible applicants include universities, nonprofits, and governments, with a maximum budget of $499,999 for each project year, and the project duration can extend to five years. The NIH seeks proposals that will enhance understanding, prevention, and treatment of congenital anomalies, thus advancing precision medicine in pediatric health. Applicants are urged to adhere to specific submission guidelines to ensure compliance and competitiveness in securing this federal funding.
