NIH eMERGE Genomic Risk Assessment Network — Coordinating Center (U01)
The NIH has posted RFA-HG-26-008 seeking a Coordinating Center for the next phase of the eMERGE (Electronic Medical Records and Genomics) Network. This FOA explicitly requires OMOP CDM for harmonizing EHR data across participating sites.
Closes: March 6, 2026 | Mechanism: U01 | Agency: NIH
Why this matters for Emory
The eMERGE Network is one of the flagship NIH programs linking genomic data with electronic health records. The coordinating center role involves managing data harmonization across all network sites — and OMOP is the required standard. This is a direct validation of OMOP infrastructure for genomic risk assessment research.
