Supporting Talented Early Career Researchers in Genomics
Funds a first independent research project for exceptionally promising early-career investigators working anywhere in genomics.
An early-stage investigator's biggest obstacle is often not a lack of ideas but a lack of a track record long enough to win a standard research grant. This notice is built for that investigator specifically, in one field: genomics.
It funds research by exceptionally promising Early Stage Investigators with a long-term career interest in genomics. The scope is deliberately wide open — genomic scie…
Research project grants for exceptionally promising Early Stage Investigators with a long-term career interest in genomics, covering genomic sciences, genomic medicine, genomic data science, and the ethical, legal and social implications of genomics, within NHGRI's mission.
