The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has announced a funding opportunity for small research grants (R03) focused on the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of human genetic research. This initiative encourages applications from various academic disciplines to explore issues arising from genomic advancements, including equity, community engagement, and the implications of new technologies. Key areas of interest include genomics in healthcare, data stewardship, and the socio-cultural factors influencing genetic research. The funding opportunity opens on January 19, 2024, with applications due by 5:00 PM local time. Projects can request up to $50,000 annually for a maximum of two years and do not necessitate preliminary data. The program aims to promote responsible and equitable genomics, addressing challenges such as historical misuse of genomic data and underrepresentation in research. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, nonprofits, governmental organizations, and various other entities. The NIH emphasizes adherence to strict guidelines for applications, including data sharing policies, to enhance transparency and scientific impact. This funding opportunity aims to foster important research that aligns with the NIH's mission to improve health outcomes informed by genetic science.
