This grant is for research centers to study how genetic or environmental factors interact with genomic variants. The goal is to understand these interactions better and improve predictions for testing genetic variants. Centers will share their findings and methods to help others in the field.
Who it's for: This grant is for organizations like nonprofits, state and local governments, schools, tribal governments, small businesses, and higher education institutions that are interested in genomic research.
