Genomic Data Generation Center for the Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program (U24 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The NIH Common Fund seeks a Genomic Data Generation Center to produce high‑quality, multi‑omics data (whole‑genome, RNA‑seq, long‑read, methylation, ATAC‑seq) from thousands of pediatric specimens covering childhood cancers and congenital anomalies. Generated data will be harmonized and hosted by the Kids First Data Resource Center, providing a cloud‑based repository for the research community. The award is a U24 cooperative agreement (up to $3.5 M) with NIH staff providing substantial programmatic involvement, including liaison, cohort allocation, and technology guidance. Recipients retain primary rights to data and software but must ensure continuity and allow NIH to transfer resources if needed. Annual reporting and a robust data‑management plan are required.
