The National Institutes of Health is offering a grant aimed at identifying the proximate causal mechanisms of serious mental illnesses by conducting systematic fine-mapping of genome-wide significant risk loci. This grant seeks to utilize robust statistical genetic and functional genomic approaches to pinpoint the specific genetic variants, genes, and mechanisms underlying the association with mental illnesses. The deadline for application submission is February 28, 2020.

| Description: | Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified statistical relationships between tens of thousands of common single nucleotide variants and over a thousand traits. Due to the correlated nature of nearby genetic variants, GWAS implicate regions of the genome and do not necessarily pinpoint the causal variant(s), gene(s) or mechanism(s) underlying the trait association. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement is to support systematic fine-mapping of genome-wide significant risk loci associated with serious mental illnesses through robust statistical genetic and functional genomic approaches. |
