ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) Data Generation and Resource Center

Summary

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is soliciting proposals for the establishment of an ancient DNA for Modern Genomics (aDMG) Data Generation and Resource Center. This forecasted opportunity appears to support large-scale ancient DNA (aDNA) data generation and the creation of a centralized resource center to support modern genomics research. The center would likely be responsible for producing, curating, and disseminating ancient genomic datasets to the broader research community. This is a forecasted opportunity, meaning full details have not yet been released.

How they evaluate

Risks & flags

• Opportunity is in 'forecasted' status only — full solicitation details, scope, and requirements have not yet been published, limiting advance preparation time for potential applicants.
• Highly specialized scientific domain (ancient DNA extraction and genomics) may naturally narrow the eligible applicant pool to a small number of institutions with existing aDNA laboratory infrastructure.
