This NOFO seeks applications for the development of informatics tools to facilitate uptake and scientific use of the human pangenome reference being developed and maintained by the NHGRI Human Genome Reference Program (HGRP). Emphasis for this RFA will be on development of tools to advance compelling use cases that are relevant to different broad sectors of the genomics community, e.g., clinical, population, and functional genomics. These tools will use pangenome datasets and build on systems developed by the Human Pangenome Coordinating Center (see below), which will support general computational infrastructure for pangenome use.
This informatics tools RFA will fund one component of an overall HGRP, which will also include two other components: High Quality Reference Genomes (herein called “Genomes Center”), and a Human Pangenome Coordinating Center (Herein called “Coordinating Center”). (See Companion Funding Opportunities). Awardees under all three RFAs will work collaboratively within a consortium towards production and community adoption of the human pangenome reference.
