Note: These numbers do not include construction funds, which
are a very small part of the budget. |
The Human Genome Project was sometimes reported to have cost $3 billion.
However, this figure refers to the total projected funding over a 13-year
period
(1990–2003) for a wide range of scientific activities related to genomics.
These include studies of human diseases, experimental organisms (such as bacteria,
yeast, worms, flies, and mice); development of new technologies for biological
and medical research; computational methods to analyze genomes; and ethical,
legal, and social issues related to genetics. Human genome sequencing represents
only a small fraction of the overall 13-year budget.
The DOE and NIH genome programs set aside 3% to
5% of their respective total annual budgets for the study of the project's ELSI
issues. For an in-depth look at the ELSI surrounding the project, see the ELSI
Webpage.
* For an explanation of the NIH budget, contact the Office
of Human Genome Communications, National Human Genome Research Institute, National
Institutes of Health; 301/402-0911.

of major government and nonprofit genomics research funders, 1998-2000 compiled
as part of the World
Survey of Genomics Research of the Stanford-in-Washington Program.
