Near-Term Technology Development for Genome Sequencing: The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to solicit grant applications to develop novel technologies that will substantially reduce the cost of genomic DNA sequencing. Current technologies are able to produce the sequence of a mammalian-sized genome of the desired data quality for $10 to $50 million; the goal of this initiative is to reduce costs by at least two orders of magnitude. It is anticipated that emerging technologies are sufficiently advanced that, with additional investment, it may be possible to achieve proof of principle or even early stage commercialization for genome-scale sequencing within five years. A parallel RFA HG-04-003 (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-HG-04-003.html) solicits grant applications to develop technologies to meet the longer- term goal of achieving four-orders of magnitude cost reduction in about ten years.
