ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) Coordination Center

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to solicit applications to establish an ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) program. The goal of aDMG is to establish an ethical resource of ancient and historical human DNA (aDNA) data to advance studies about contemporary human traits and biology. The Coordinating Center would work with researchers and local communities to identify existing and new sources of aDNA and provide oversight and coordination of program activities across all components. • The aDMG program aims to advance studies about contemporary human traits and biology using ancient and historical human DNA data. • The Coordinating Center will work with researchers and local communities to identify existing and new sources of aDNA. • The program will provide oversight and coordination of program activities across all components. • Applications are not being solicited at this time, but potential applicants are encouraged to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. • The NOFO will utilize the U24 activity code.
