Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) High Throughput Sequencing and Genotyping Resource Access

Funds access to NIH's genotyping and sequencing lab, not a cash award, for research that needs large-scale genetic data.

Between cyclesNational Institutes of HealthGlobal

Most labs cannot run genome-scale genotyping or sequencing in house — the machines, the throughput and the statistical genetics expertise all belong to a handful of specialised facilities. The Center for Inherited Disease Research, or CIDR, is one of them, and this notice is how a research team gets in the door.

What CIDR does is named plainly: high-throughput genotyping and sequencing, plus stat

Access to NIH's Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) for high-throughput genotyping, sequencing and statistical genetics support, to identify disease-linked genetic variation or add genotype and sequence data to already-phenotyped specimens. The award is service access on CIDR's platforms, administered NIH-wide by NHGRI, not a cash grant. Clinical trials are not accepted.
