MiamiOH OARS on 20 Aug 18The ultimate objective of this funding opportunity is the elucidation of the complex interplays of genetic (e.g., polygenic) risk, in addition to specific risk loci and networks, and environmental factors, in human populations, which will lead to better understanding, diagnosis, and ultimately treatment of mental disorders. For a linked set of collaborative R01s, each site has its own Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s), and the program provides a mechanism for cross-site coordination and communication. Collaborative studies are appropriate to address research projects that go beyond the capacity of a single-site investigation, particularly to accommodate collaborations among sites with diverse expertise, perspectives, and contributions.?Specifically, the purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support collaborative R01 projects from multidisciplinary teams that implement creative, efficient molecular epidemiologic approaches that incorporate individual genetic information, including polygenic as well as specific genetic risk variants, in existing large, population-based cohorts, registries and/or health systems to conduct analyses that advance our understanding of the complex etiology of severe mental disorders. Applicants wishing to submit individual l projects should apply to the companion FOA (link).
