Description

Purpose. The National Institutes of Health solicits applications to develop new and improved computational tools for the analysis, interpretation and validation of data generated from the Human Microbiome Program. Mechanism of Support.

Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. $2.5 million is available in FY10 for this FOA and the parallel R01 FOA in combination. It is anticipated that 2-5 R01 grants (of duration up to 3 years) and 2-4 R21 grants will be awarded. Budgets will be negotiated to optimize the number of awards that can be made.
