## What the grant funds

The Common Fund Human Virome Program aims to extensively characterize the human virome and create tools, models, and methods that will enable an in-depth study of its variation in relation to host factors and its influence on health and disease. The purpose of this NOFO is to address the technological challenges that are currently hindering robust interrogation of the constituents and functionality of the human virome. Despite major advances in sequencing technology and computational analysis of large sequence data sets, challenges remain in examining viruses. This NOFO solicits applications to develop innovative and novel tools, models, and methods to overcome the major challenges in identifying and characterizing viruses, as well as the development of computational and bioinformatics tools to enhance the analysis of the human virome. This NOFO requires a Plan for Enhancing Diverse Perspectives (PEDP), which will be assessed as part of the scientific and technical peer review evaluation.
