In July 1997 the DOE Office of Biological and Environmental Research announced three Phase I and two Phase II awards in human genome topics of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program (see box below). The highly competitive SBIR awards are designed to stimulate commercialization of federally funded research and development for the benefit of both private and public sectors. SBIR emphasizes cutting-edge, high-risk research with potential for high payoff in hundreds of areas, including human genome research. (Contact Information.)

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.
