Thursday, August 15, 2024 NIAID Funds Cutting-Edge Genomics and Bioinformatics Programs The GCIDs and BRCs will make high-quality genomics and bioinformatics data publicly available to the research community. Credit: NHGRI NIAID has announced six awards to continue the Genomics Centers for Infectious Diseases (GCIDs) and Bioinformatics Resource Centers (BRCs) for Infectious Diseases, both important data science networks offering critical resources for the scientific community. NIAID expects to commit approximately $19.1 million per year to fund the five-year programs. The awards mark the 20th anniversaries of the GCID and BRC programs and extend NIAID's history of investing in cutting-edge pathogen genomics and bioinformatics research – the relatively new field of using patient gene sequences and computer analysis to identify, predict and prevent disease. The GCIDs and BRCs provide public access to high-quality genomic data and data analytics technologies, tools, and training to facilitate discoveries by researchers studying viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, other eukaryotic pathogens, and vectors. In addition, in the event of an infectious disease outbreak, the GCID and BRC programs offer network expertise and resources and provide a coordinated research response.
