NIH: Advancing Genomic Variation Analysis in Tissue Transcriptomes (R01)

This NIH FOA from the Common Fund supports R01 awards for analyzing Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) data. The GTEx program aims to explore the genetic influence on gene expression in human tissues. With data from 900 donors and 20,000 tissues expected by 2016, GTEx offers a valuable resource. This grant focuses on developing and applying statistical methods and system approaches to leverage this data effectively. Applications are open until November 21, 2012.

Description::	This NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds from the NIH Common Fund, invites applications for R01 awards for statistical analysis of Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) data. The goal of the GTEx program is to develop a data and sample resource to study the relationship between genetic variation and gene expression across multiple human reference tissues. By 2016 the GTEx program is expected to include genetic variation information from approximately 900 post-mortem donors and gene expression measurements from over 20,000 tissues. GTEx will represent a large, rich, and unique resource. This FOA is to develop and apply statistical methods and systems approaches to make maximal use of this data.
