The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the nation’s medical research agency — making important discoveries that improve health and save lives.
The grant program by NHGR aims to promote scholarship on the ethical, legal, and social implications of advancements in human genetics and genomics. It seeks to enhance ELSI research teams, build research capacity, and broaden the ELSI workforce. The initiative encourages the development of meaningful collaborations and responsive projects in this area, providing potential applicants with the opportunity to consult with NIH for submitting responsive applications.
