The National Institute of Mental Health is offering this grant to fund research aimed at analyzing gene networks and pathways associated with mental illnesses. The grant supports innovative use of bioinformatics and systems biology to uncover novel genetic factors contributing to psychiatric disorders. Applicants will leverage diverse datasets and cutting-edge computational modeling to identify and validate molecular networks linked to mental health conditions. Research findings will be rigorously examined through independent datasets and biological measures to strengthen the understanding of disease mechanisms. Closing date for applications: June 29, 2015.

| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) and the companion FOA is to solicit applications for computational and functional analysis of gene networks and complex pathways that confer susceptibility to severe mental illnesses. These studies should leverage existing diverse multi-scale datasets and apply a combination of cutting-edge bioinformatics, computational predictive modeling, and systems biology approaches to identify and begin to evaluate novel genetic factors and molecular networks underlying functional pathways relevant to psychiatric disorders to verify their relationship or causality with disease/disease risk.The computational model predictions should be further replicated through independent datasets and confirmed using biological measures from existing and/or new experimental data. |
