Plant Genome Research Program

The Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) supports genome-scale research that addresses challenging questions of biological, societal, and economic importance. The program encourages the development of innovative tools, technologies, and resources that empower a broad plant research community to answer scientific questions on a genome-wide scale. Two funding tracks are currently available: RESEARCH-PGR TRACK and TRTech-PGR TRACK. • The RESEARCH-PGR TRACK focuses on genome-scale plant research to address fundamental questions in biology, including processes of economic and/or societal importance. • The TRTech-PGR TRACK focuses on tools, resources, and technology breakthroughs that further enable functional plant genomics. • Training, broadening participation, and career development are essential to scientific progress and should be integrated in all PGRP-funded projects. • Data produced by plant genomics should be usable, accessible, integrated across scales, and of high impact across biology.
