Twice each year, the JGI accepts proposals for state-of-the-art functional genomics research from potential users who need help translating genomic information into biological function. Through our CSP Functional Genomics call, we look for projects that will leverage the JGI’s DNA synthesis and omics capabilities to enhance understanding of gene and genome function.
Below find a list of the final six researchers accepted for 2022. Proposals are accepted year-round; the next deadline is July 31. You can learn more about our Community Science Program here.
