This grant is for research centers to study how genetic and environmental factors interact to affect the impact of genomic variants. The goal is to improve predictions and understanding of these interactions, which could lead to better genetic testing and insights into genetic studies. Centers will work together to share data and methods through a consortium.
Who it's for: This grant is for research centers, universities, government entities, nonprofits, and other organizations interested in genetic research. It's particularly suited for those capable of conducting complex genetic studies and willing to collaborate within a consortium.
