Opportunity
Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP)
Award Info:
Approximately $30,000,000 will be available for new and continuing awards in FY 2021. Estimated program budget, number of awards and average award number, size/duration are subject to the availability of funds.
Description:
The Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) supports genome-scale research that addresses challenging questions of biological, societal and economic importance. PGRP encourages the development of innovative tools, technologies and resources that empower a broad plant research community to answer scientific questions on a genome-wide scale. Emphasis is placed on the scale and depth of the question being addressed and the creativity of the approach. Data produced by plant genomics should be usable, accessible, integrated across scales and of high impact across biology. Training, broadening participation, and career development are essential to scientific progress and should be integrated in all PGRP-funded projects.
