Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA HG 19 012
This funding opportunity, RFA HG 19 012, is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant announcement from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) under the Department of Health and Human Services. It supports the continuation of Centers of Excellence in Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) Research, known as CEERs, using the RM1 mechanism (clinical trial optional). The overall purpose is to sustain and strengthen established, center-based teams that can address the ethical, legal, and social questions raised by modern genetics and genomics, especially as new technologies and large-scale genomic data move quickly into research, clinical care, public health, and consumer settings.
The CEER program is built around trans-disciplinary work, meaning the centers are expected to go beyond parallel projects in separate departments and instead integrate perspectives and methods across fields. NHGRI emphasizes teams that can anticipate emerging issues, launch research rapidly when new genomics developments create new challenges, and produce insights that are useful in real time. The kinds of participating disciplines described include genomic science and clinical research alongside ethics, law, health policy, the humanities, economics, political science, anthropology, and other social sciences. In practice, the funded centers are meant to be hubs where scholars and practitioners collaboratively frame questions, design studies, interpret findings, and translate conclusions into guidance that resonates both inside and outside academia.
A major expectation of the program is that centers will not only conduct research but also actively disseminate their findings and help those findings inform policy and practice. That includes communication of results to stakeholders who shape or implement research policy, health policy, and institutional practices, as well as engaging communities affected by genomics. The announcement also highlights workforce development: CEERs are expected to contribute to training and mentoring the next generation of ELSI researchers, strengthening the pipeline of scholars who can operate fluently across genomics, ethics, law, and the social sciences.
This particular announcement is a limited competition renewal, not an open call for new centers. Only organizations that already hold CEER awards are eligible to apply, and the purpose is to compete for their final four-year renewal. Applications proposing brand-new CEERs are explicitly not accepted under this FOA. NHGRI also signals program stability by stating an intent to maintain CEER funding at approximately its current level through fiscal year 2023, which frames the renewal as part of a continuing program rather than a one-time initiative.
Key administrative details include an expected four awards, with an award ceiling listed as $650,000. The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the health area (CFDA 93.172). Eligible applicant organization types, as listed in the source data, include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status, along with other entities as clarified in the FOA text. The announcement was created March 27, 2019, with an original closing date of July 23, 2019, indicating it was time-bound and aimed at renewing an existing cohort of centers during that funding cycle.
Taken together, the opportunity is designed to keep established CEERs operating as durable, responsive centers that can quickly study and guide society through fast-moving genomics issues, produce cross-disciplinary scholarship with practical relevance, spread findings to decision-makers and stakeholders, and train upcoming researchers to continue ELSI leadership in genetics and genomics.Apply for RFA HG 19 012
