For this month’s list of grant information, GT checked in on the National Science Foundation. The agency, which has an annual budget of about $6 billion, has given a number of awards recently that promise to bear fruit for the ‘omics community.
In rounding up awards, GT looked at all grants issued from the end of May onward, and selected for this chart the ones that were most closely related to genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics. This is by no means a comprehensive list of NSF’s funding in the area. The amount shown for award indicates funding for the current year.
