GRANTQUICK SUMMARYPlain-English Overview

NIH is funding one $2.25M award for the GREGoRi (Genomics Research to Elucidate the Genetics of Rare Diseases) Technology Integration Center. This center develops and integrates cutting-edge genomic technologies to identify causes of rare/undiagnosed genetic diseases. You're the technology hub for the GREGoRi consortium — bringing in new sequencing, analysis, and functional genomics tools that the research sites will use.

Who Should Apply

Major genomics/genetics research centers with state-of-the-art sequencing infrastructure, bioinformatics pipelines, and track records of technology development for rare disease genetics.

Who Should NOT Apply

Clinical genetics labs without technology development, small research groups, institutions without infrastructure for consortium-level coordination, or groups focused on common diseases.

Key Requirements (Plain English)

  • Must serve as technology integration center for GREGoRi consortium
  • Must develop/integrate advanced genomic technologies for rare diseases
  • Single award up to $2.25M
  • Clinical trials optional
  • Must coordinate technology deployment across consortium sites
  • No cost-sharing required

💡 GrantQuick Tip

GREGoRi is a new NIH consortium for rare disease genomics. The Technology Integration Center will likely go to one of the handful of institutions with world-class genomics technology development programs (Broad, WashU, Baylor, etc.). You need both cutting-edge sequencing capabilities AND rare disease genetics expertise. If you're not already a leader in functional genomics and rare disease, this isn't your award.

Competitiveness: Very high — single large award for a national consortium role. Only 3-5 institutions nationally have the required infrastructure.

What This Grant Funds

The Genomics Research to Elucidate the Genetics of Rare Diseases:innovation (GREGoRi) initiative seeks to accelerate a paradigm shift in rare disease diagnosis by reimagining the tools, molecular technologies and analytical approaches used to identify the causal gene(s) and/or variant(s) underlying rare genetic disorders. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity is to establish the GREGoRi Technology Integration Center, which will enable the development of standards and best practices for applying new and emerging molecular methods in rare disease diagnosis. A major deliverable of the Center will be a multidimensional dataset that can be used for the development and benchmarking of novel tools and strategies that facilitate rare disease diagnosis.
