Broadening Opportunities for Computational Genomics and Data Science Education (UE5 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
HHS-NIH11 Forecasted RFA-HG-28-007Description
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) intends to issue a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in 2027 to renew the Broadening Opportunities for Computational Genomics and Data Science Education program (UE5 activity code). This program supports emerging research institutions (ERIs)–institutions with less than $50M in Federal research expenditures per 42 USC 18901, to teach computational genomics and data science (CGDS) to undergraduate and master's students. Awardees collaborate with NHGRI's CGDS Educational Hub and utilize cloud platforms like Genomic Data Science Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL) and All of Us Researcher Workbench, enabling students and faculty to access large-scale genomic datasets without local infrastructure. The renewal will expand the network of ERIs teaching CGDS and advance workforce development for genomics and precision medicine. Key priorities include: increasing the number of funded ERIs; supporting individual faculty to develop CGDS curricula; building an AnVIL-hosted toolbox to centralize educational content; and expanding hands-on student research opportunities.
