Funding Opportunities

DOE OHER

Computational Molecular Biology

Topic: Ten postdoctoral fellowships to catalyze career transitions into computational molecular biology from other scientific fields. These fellowships are funded by DOE and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to give young scientists an intensive 2-year postdoctoral opportunity in an appropriate molecular biology laboratory. Selections will be announced in June 1997, and funding can begin any time after September 1, 1997.

  • Applications due April 14, 1997.

Contact: Christine Trance; Alfred P. Sloan Foundation; 630 Fifth Ave., Ste. 2550; New York, NY 10111 (212/649-1649, Fax: /757-5117, trance@sloan.org

NABIR Program

Program Notice 97-04

Topic: Scientific research elements in the Natural and Accelerated Bioremediation Research (NABIR) Program.
Full announcement, guidelines: http://science.doe.gov/grants/ or http://www.lbl.gov/ERSP

  • Applications due January 30, 1997.

Contact: John Houghton (301/903-8288, Fax: -8519, john.houghton@science.doe.gov)

NIH NCHGR

Genome-Analysis Technologies
RFA HG-97-001 (R01, P01, R21)

Topic: To develop novel genomic-scale technologies for the study of genome function and sequence variation. These technologies will facilitate, among other things, elucidation of the biological roles of gene products and noncoding functional elements, interactions among functional elements in the cell, biological consequences of genome organization, dynamics of polymorphisms in populations, and the functional significance of genomic variation.

  • Letters of Intent due February 27, 1997.
  • Applications due March 27, 1997.

Contact: Elise Feingold contact NCHGR [http://genome.gov/] for information.

NIH National Research Service Award Fellowships

Topic: To engage in research relevant to the Human Genome Project. Postdoctoral, senior postdoctoral, and minority predoctoral fellowships are available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents; research in ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) is not open to predoctoral students through this program.

  • Applications for postdoctoral and senior postdoctoral due December 5, April 5, and August 5.
  • Applications for minority predoctoral due May 1 and November 15.

Contacts: ELSI topics, Eric Meslin (301/402-4997, eric_meslin@nih.gov); all other topics, Bettie Graham ( at NCHGR [http://www.genome.gov/])

Human Genome Project 1990–2003

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.

Human Genome News

Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
