Sample ELSI Applications and Summary Statements

We are grateful to the investigators and their institutions for allowing us to provide this important resource to the community. To maintain confidentiality, we have redacted some information from these documents (e.g., budgets, social security numbers, home addresses, introduction to revised application), where applicable.  Most substantive components of the application (e.g. Project Abstract, Budget Justification, Specific Aims, Research Plan, and Human Subjects Protections) are included. We do not include other SF 424 (R&R) forms or requisite information found in the full grant application (e.g., budgets, biographical sketches, letters of recommendation or letters of support). NIH grant formats or rules may have changed since these applications were prepared; therefore, applicants should always follow the application format instructions included in the funding announcement. 

The NHGRI ELSI Research Program Funding Opportunities webpage contains a list of funding opportunities that NHGRI participates in related to ELSI research. The NHGRI Funding for Research Training webpage contains detailed information about research training and career development opportunities at the undergraduate, postbaccalaureate, graduate, postdoctoral and faculty levels. Funding opportunities vary in terms of eligibility requirements and area of research focus. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the appropriate NIH Scientific/Research contact listed in the Funding Opportunity well in advance of submitting the application.
