By stimulating talent and boosting careers, NGI brings new insight, skills and resources to the world of genomics research. NGI has set ambitious goals, in such a way that these activities will not only become stronger in the coming five years, but will also continue after 2012.
An overview of the main activities:
Horizon Programme
NGI has made € 20 million available for continuation of the Horizon Programme during the 2008 - 2012 period. The focus of the Horizon Programme in the second period will be on development of talented individual researchers, support for innovative research and stimulating the valorisation of research results.

Horizon Valorisation Project Grant
The Horizon Valorisation Project Grant is available for researchers that have already been awarded a Horizon Breakthrough project to further support valorisation of their research results. The grant may be used to validate research, or perform pre-clinical research or (further) clinical research to improve the valorisation potential of the research as performed in the Horizon Breakthrough project.
