About the call

Review Frequency:annual
Next Submission Deadline:Jan. 30, 2025
Next Review Date:March 2025

The CSP Functional Genomics call is to enable users to perform state-of-the-art functional genomics research and to help them translate genomic information into biological function. 

The emphasis is on projects leveraging JGI’s DNA synthesis and ‘omics capabilities to enhance understanding of gene and genome function, particularly those not readily achievable without the capabilities and expertise available at the JGI.

Proposals to this call may be submitted to the JGI at any time using a simple web-based form and are reviewed annually.

For accepted proposals, sequencing, synthesis, metabolomics and analysis will be paid for by the Department of Energy’s funding of the JGI. There is no cost to the user and no granting of funds.
