Elsi Small Grant Research Program (R03): This PA is designed to solicit research projects that anticipate, analyze and address the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of the discovery and use of new information and technologies resulting from human genetic and genomic research. Of particular interest are studies that examine issues and, where appropriate, develop policy options in the following areas: 1) intellectual property issues surrounding access to and use of genetic information; 2) the ethical, legal and social factors that influence the translation of genetic information to improved human health; 3) the issues surrounding the conduct of genetic and genomic research; 4) the use of genetic and genomic information and technologies in non health care settings; 5) the impact of genetics and genomics on concepts of race, ethnicity, kinship and individual and group identity; 6)the implications, for both individuals and society, of uncovering genetic and genomic contributions to not only disease, but also normal human traits and behaviors; and 7) how different individuals, cultures and religious traditions view the ethical boundaries for the uses of genetics and genomics. This Small Grant PA, which is limited to applications requesting up to $50,000 in direct costs per year for no more than two years, makes use of a streamlined application process and is designed to encourage the development of small, focused research projects by legal, historical, ethics and social sciences scholars whose analytical style of inquiry often has not been adequately encouraged or supported by the more traditional NIH R01 application process. It is also designed to support smaller exploratory studies that may provide preliminary findings or pilot data for larger research proposals in all research areas of interest. Applications requesting more than $50,000 in direct costs should be submitted under the ELSI Regular Research Grant (R01) PA, PA-04-050: ELSI Regular Research Program (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-04-050.html).
