Community Science Program (CSP) Functional Genomics Call; Proposal deadline: January 31, 2022
CSP New Investigator Call; Proposal deadline: March 3, 2022
Annual Calls for the Large-Scale CSP and FICUS, to tap the resources of both the JGI and EMSL, open in January and close in early spring. 
Product Phase-Out
The JGI conducted an extensive internal product audit to analyze the scientific value, demand, and costs of current offerings in the JGI product catalog informing priorities for future product expansion or elimination. The JGI will no longer offer smRNA, bisulfite, or ChIP sequencing, beginning with FY23 proposals.
Let’s Get (Geo)Physical
The JGI with EMSL and ARM will host two Town Hall Meetings at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting: December 7 and 9.

ICYMI: Tap JGI Multimedia Resources 
Genome Insider
Featuring: 2021 JGI-UC Merced Program interns describing their dives into genomics, computational tools and big data. Also, hear the progress from our CBI at ORNL about the genomics secrets in poplar, the “bioenergy tree.” In another episode, John Mullet, a biologist at Texas A&M University, shares how sorghum plays a big role in our energy future.
