SYNOPSIS:
The sponsor offers support for grant applications to develop novel technologies that will substantially reduce the cost of genomic DNA sequencing. Current technologies are able to produce the sequence of a mammalian-sized genome of the desired data quality for $5 to $10 million; the goal of this initiative is to reduce costs by at least two orders of magnitude. As some technologies that have potential to achieve this goal are already in or near the commercial market, applications to this FOA will need to show clear advantage over current and emerging technologies.
Applicants may propose to develop full-scale sequencing systems, or to investigate key components of such systems. This program will use the NIH Phased Innovation (R21/R33) award mechanism.
