Health Department Grant: Analysis of Genome-Wide Gene-Environment (G x E) Interactions

The Health Department is offering this grant for analyzing existing genome-wide data to identify gene-environment interactions. This grant aims to uncover genetic susceptibilities to environmental exposures and understand the impact of environmental factors on the development and progression of human diseases. Applications should focus on secondary data analysis from genome-wide association studies for innovative discoveries in human populations. Closing date: Feb 14, 2014.

Additional Information

Agency Name::	National Institutes of Health
Description::	The purpose of this FOA is to provide support for research projects that involve secondary data analyses of existing genome-wide data from genome-wide association studies or other large genomic datasets for the purpose of identifying gene-environment interactions. The ultimate objective of this funding opportunity is the discovery of complex interplays of genes and environmental factors in human populations which may disclose novel genetic susceptibilities to environmental exposures or a greater understanding of the role of environmental exposures in the development, progression, and severity of complex human diseases.
