National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Grant: Causal Variants Analysis for Arthritis and Skin Diseases (R01)

This grant is offered by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, National Institutes of Health, to fund research projects focused on identifying genetic variations linked to complex diseases relevant to the NIAMS mission. The goal is to discover causal genes and variants impacting disease risks and to conduct in-depth studies on specific genetic variants for better understanding of disease mechanisms. Research primarily targets genomic regions identified through genome-wide association studies and aims to translate these findings into valuable biological insights for future diagnostic and therapeutic advancements.

Description::	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, National Institutes of Health, encourages applications that aim to characterize the genetic variations in human genomic regions that have been putatively associated with complex diseases relevant to the NIAMS mission. The purpose is to accelerate the discovery of causal genes and variants that influence the risk for disease; and conduct follow-up studies of particular genetic variants to gain novel insights into the functions of these variants and the mechanisms by which they may contribute to disease. Genomic regions of interest are primarily those identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) although other types of evidence may also inform the rationale for a given study. These studies are essential for the translation of initial GWAS finding into biological insights, and ultimately important for improving our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of disease that could lead to predictive, diagnostic, and therapeutic advances.
