National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) | Temesgen D. Fufa, Ph.D. The National Human Genome Research Institute is committed to disseminating the latest information and technologies through courses and conference grants. However, our investment in this type of research will be limited (in research areas and dollars) and will be targeted to areas that seek to increase the capabilities of US scientists, especially those who are seeking to significantly enhance their skills in research areas relevant to addressing the research issues described in the strategic plan. NHGRI supports a limited number of conferences and courses. Genomic and genetic science is now integrated into many areas of biomedical research. To maintain research focus and accommodate budget constraints, NHGRI must be highly selective when providing funds for conferences/courses. Highest priority in the strategic plan areas structure and biology of genomes, the biology of disease, and bioinformatics and computational biology will be on topics that advance the state of the art of genomics. For clinically-oriented conferences and courses, those with a prominent focus on the application of genomics to improving clinical care will receive the highest priority for consideration. Conferences in the area of ethical, legal and social implications of genomic research will also be supported. | Monika Christman Phone: 301-435-7860 Email: [email protected] |
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) | Ms. Aroos Shafi Due to budgetary constraints, the NHLBI is only accepting primary and secondary assignments on applications for the support of meetings directly related to heart, lung, blood, and sleep disorders and conditions.
