Ancestry Networks for the Human Cell Atlas

This Request for Applications (RFA) is intended to bring together teams of experts to generate data derived from tissues from people whose ancestral groups are historically understudied and thereby expand the ancestral diversity of single-cell data that is available via the HCA, and utilize best practices and build up systems to enable long-term engagement of potential participants and donors from diverse communities to contribute to the current and future drafts of the HCA.

• Teams must consist of a min. of 3 PIs and a max. of 10 PIs
• Teams must include at least one computational biologist/data scientist and at least one single-cell biology expert.
• Global North- South collaborationa are encouraged
• community-engaged/community-based participatory researchers are encouraged

Funding: No fixed limit 

Duration: 3 years
