This NIH funding opportunity supports new theory, models, and methods for understanding the genetic architecture of complex human traits. It is open to a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations, including nonprofits, universities, governments, for-profit firms, and foreign organizations, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are allowed. Awards are limited to a two-year project period, with up to $275,000 in direct costs total and no more than $200,000 in any single year. No cost sharing is required. The announcement is not for clinical trials, and new data generation for validation cannot exceed 20% of direct costs; existing data used must be publicly available.
What it funds
Official description from grants.gov
The goal of this NOFO is to support R21 applications for novel theory and methods development that better delineate how genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to complex trait variation across individuals, families, and populations. Approaches should be interdisciplinary across the natural and social sciences, account for interdependencies across scales of biological, social, and ecological organization, and make extensive use of theory, simulations, and validation using available large-scale datasets
