NCHGR is establishing GESTEC (Genome Science and Technology Centers), a reformulated, flexible program of research support. GESTEC is designed to develop technologies for large-scale generation of mapping and sequencing information, improved informatics solutions to data management, and better methods of annotating maps and sequences. Applications are invited for new and continuing large-scale, multidisciplinary projects to finish the first 5-year goals of the Human Genome Project and address further project needs.
Grants in the GESTEC program may be supported by Specialized Center Grants (P50) or Program Project Grants (P01). The P50 mechanism will be used for broader, more-complex, multidisciplinary programs and P01 for projects that support a minimum of three research components with a well-defined central research focus.
Written and telephone inquiries are strongly encouraged, and NCHGR welcomes the opportunity to clarify any issues or questions from potential applicants. The full program announcement and GESTEC grant proposal guidelines should be requested before the application is prepared.
Contacts for inquiries: Jane Peterson (GESTEC program) and Robert Strausberg (DNA sequencing/technology development); NCHGR; Bldg. 38A, Room 610; NIH; Bethesda, MD 20892 (301/496-7531).

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.
Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
