Funding opportunities for specific population-based genetic epidemiology research projects are provided below. Research initiatives whose aims include assessing the prevalence of human genetic variation, the association between genetic variants and human diseases, the measurement of gene-gene or gene-environment interaction, and the evaluation of genetic tests for screening and prevention are compiled to create this listing. Additional information and application details can be found by clicking on the respective links. New program announcements or requests for applications from either the National Institutes of Health or other funding sources will be posted in future issues of the “What’s New?” and added to the list below.
