AI summary

The Plant Genome Research Program funds genome-scale plant biology research and tools, resources, and technology advances that help explain plant genomes and support agriculture, the environment, and other societal needs. Eligible applicants are U.S.-based two- and four-year colleges and universities, including community colleges, and U.S.-based nonprofit non-academic organizations such as museums, observatories, research labs, and professional societies. The program expects about 15 to 20 awards and has about $30 million available for new and continuing awards; budgets should fit the project, with large consortia rarely over $5 million and many smaller projects rarely over $2 million. There are no limits on who may serve as PI or on the number of proposals per organization or per PI, and proposals with international components must be well justified.

Official description from grants.gov

The Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) supports genome-scale research that addresses challenging questions of biological, societal and economic importance. PGRP encourages the development of innovative tools, technologies, and resources that empower a broad plant research community to answer scientific questions on a genome-wide scale. Emphasis is placed on the scale and depth of the question being addressed and the creativity of the approach. Data produced by plant genomics should be usable, accessible, integrated across scales, and of high impact across biology. Training, broadening participation, and career development are essential to scientific progress and should be integrated in all PGRP-funded projects. Two funding tracks are currently available: RESEARCH-PGR TRACK: Genome-scale plant research to address fundamental questions in biology, including processes of economic and/or societal importance. TRTech-PGR TRACK: Tools, resources, and technology breakthroughs that further enable functional plant genomics.
