The Department of Defense Epigenetic Grant, known as ECHO, aims to utilize the epigenome to detect exposure to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and WMD precursors. This grant will focus on developing a portable platform for diagnosing biothreat exposures, infections, and supporting military forensics to prevent WMD proliferation. The closing date for applications is May 03, 2018.
