Trans-NIH Microbiome Working Group
The Trans-NIH MIcrobiome Working Group (TMWG) was established in 2012 to provide a forum for coordinating NIH extramural research activities related to the human microbiome. TMWG membership is open to all extramural program staff from ICs with an interest in the human microbiome. The TMWG meets monthly. It also serves as a community resource and for this purpose, this website will be routinely updated with a list of primary points of contact for extramural staff at each IC and a current list of funding opportunity announcements for prospective grantees interested in human microbiome-related research at NIH. Please contact the program staff listed on this website for further information.
Key Points of Contact
This table lists extramural program staff who have agreed to serve as the primary point of contact for their Institute for microbiome research related inquiries. They will address general questions and, if needed, will direct your inquiries to the appropriate program director in their Institute
