Grant Description

Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications proposing highly innovative research that will investigate the epigenetic basis of human diseases. These studies will discover and define epigenetic marks or features and their possible interactions in cells and tissues that are representative of various human disease states, conditions or processes. Studies may also investigate the mechanism by which epigenetic changes occur in diseased or otherwise compromised states, and how these changes result in phenotypic differences. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the R01 award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The participating agencies intend to commit a total of $6.7 million. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. The anticipated number of awards is 10-15.
