National Research Initiative: Interagency Microbial Genome Sequencing Program
CSREES and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announce this interagency program to support high-throughput sequencing of the genomes of a wide range of microorganisms (including viruses, bacteria, archaea, fungi, oomycetes, protists, and agriculturally important nematodes) that are either of fundamental biological interest, are important to the national interest, to the productivity and sustainability of agriculture and forestry, or to the safety and quality of the nation's food supply. The results will be partial or whole genome sequence data, annotation and mapping information. Applicants are encouraged to incorporate teaching, training, or outreach components within the scope of the project to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge and the education of students and the public.
