Center for Inherited Disease Research

The Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR) is a centralized facility that provides genotyping and statistical genetics services for investigators seeking to identify genes that contribute to human disease. CIDR concentrates primarily on multifactorial hereditary disease although analysis of single gene disorders can also be accommodated. CIDR is available to all investigators through competitive peer review by a chartered CIDR Access Committee (CAC). CIDR offers a variety of services to meet the needs of investigators.

NEW APPLICATION PROCESS— Starting with the November 3, 2008 submission date, applications for CIDR genotyping must be submitted electronically as an X01 application. See http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-08-258.html for guidance about submission requirements.

The facility is supported through a $115 million federal contract (number HHSN268200782096C) to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) with Dr. David Valle of the JHU Institute of Genetic Medicine as Principal Investigator. Dr. Lawrence Brody of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) serves as the government Scientific Officer.

All data generated by CIDR will be kept strictly confidential. The data belongs solely to the submitting investigator. CIDR requests only an acknowledgment upon publication of any results: "Genotyping services were provided by the Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR). CIDR is fully funded through a federal contract from the National Institutes of Health to The Johns Hopkins University, contract number HHSN268200782096C".

CIDR was established in 1996 and is jointly supported by thirteen Institutes at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The supporting Institutes include:

  • The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), serving as the lead agency
  • The National Cancer Institute (NCI)
  • The National Eye Institute (NEI)
  • The National Institute on Aging (NIA)
  • The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
  • The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
  • The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD)
  • The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)
  • The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
  • The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
  • The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
  • The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
  • The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
