The following NSF (National Science Foundation) programmes are now open for submissions in the Plant Genome Research Programme (PGRP), allowing coordinating research and initiating collaborations between US and EU scientists:

• Genome-Enabled Plant Research
• Transferring Research from Model Systems
• Tools and Resources for Plant Genome Research
• Improving Plant Genome Annotation

The goal of the PGRP is to develop a basic knowledge of the structures and functions of plant genomes and translate this knowledge to a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of economically important plants and plant processes of potential economic value.
