Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Plant Genome Research Program - is cataloged under number 16-614 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 47.074, posted by U.S. National Science Foundation. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on June 6, 2025. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is $100,000 -- $10,000,000. The agency has projected $15.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 20 awards. If the agency funds the expected 20 awards from the $15.0 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $750,000. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity is closed. Monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements in the next funding cycle. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID.

Description
The Plant Genome Research Program (PGRP) supports genome-scale research in plant genomics that addresses challenging questions of biological importance and of relevance to society. The Program encourages the development of innovative tools, technologies and resources that push the boundaries of research capabilities and permit the community to answer seemingly intractable and pressing questions on a genome-wide scale. Emphasis is placed on the creativity of the approach and the scale and depth of the question being addressed. Data produced by plant genomics should be usable, accessible, integrated across scales and of high impact across biology. Training and career advancement in plant genomics is featured as an essential element of scientific progress. The PGRP continues to focus on plants of economic importance and biological processes and interactions that will have broad impact on the scientific research community and society in general. Four funding opportunities are currently available: Genome-scale plant research and/or tool development to address fundamental biological questions in plants of economic importance on a genome-wide scale (RESEARCH-PGR); Plant Transformation Challenge Grants to overcome constraints in plant transformation through breakthrough discoveries (TRANSFORM-PGR); Data Mining Challenge Grants to mine, reuse and unleash new information from available large-scale datasets (MINE-PGR); Career Advancement to build new careers in plant genomics as early career awards (ECA-PGR) or mid-career awards (MCA-PGR).
