National Research Initiative - Microbial Genomics (A): Genome Sequencing
CSREES, in partnership with the National Science Foundation, offers a competitive grants program supporting high throughput sequencing of the genomes of a wide range of microorganisms (including viruses, bacteria, archaea, fungi, oomycetes, protists and agriculturally important nematodes) that are either of fundamental biological interest, are important to the national interest, to the productivity and sustainability of agriculture and forestry, or to the safety and quality of the Nation's food supply. This program also supports the development and implementation of strategies, tools and technologies to make currently available genome sequences more valuable to the user community. This program accepts a wide range of applications, please carefully review the budget guidelines to ensure application acceptance. NOTE: All applications for this element should be submitted through the National Science Foundation.
