NIH CIDR Program
Investigators apply for FREE services
The largest funding source for the CIDR facility is the NIH CIDR Program, a federal contract from the National Institutes of Health at Johns Hopkins University funded by ten NIH Institutes: NHGRI, NCI, NEI, NIA, NIAAA, NICHD, NIDCR, NIEHS, NINDS and the NIH Office of the Director.
In order to apply for genomic services through the Program, an investigator must already have, or be planning to apply, for funding from one of the NIH Institutes listed above. Applications are accepted on a continuous basis, detailed application instructions are found here. If an investigator’s X01 application is reviewed and approved for funding, the applying investigator does not pay for services from their grant, the supporting NIH Institute pays for the requested services directly to CIDR.
