Grant Description

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage cooperative agreement (U01) applications from individual investigators or groups of investigators who wish to collaborate with the Epi4K Genetics and Genomics of Human Epilepsies Center without Walls (Epi4K CWOW). Investigators with existing DNA sample collections from well characterized cohorts of epilepsy patients should propose next generation sequencing and analysis studies to identify novel sequence and copy number variants. The proposed studies must be within the scope of the CWOW program and must use the extant infrastructure and resources of the Epi4K CWOW.
