This limited competition RFA-RM 08-001 will use the U54 cooperative agreement mechanism. Further information about its goals can be found at http://nihroadmap.nih.gov/hmp/. Applications may be submitted by large-scale sequencing centers (both extramural and intramural) that are currently funded by NHGRI and NIAID. The large-scale sequencing centers at the Broad Institute, Baylor College of Medicine, The J. Craig Venter Institute, Washington University School of Medicine and the NIH Intramural Sequencing Center may apply.

NHGRI and NIAID Staff will contact the current grantees directly regarding application procedures and format. Inquiries concerning this may be directed to:
