Description

Purpose. With the initial stages of the Human Genome Project completed and new insights gained into the complex interplay of genomic function, genomic structure and the environment in mental disorders, attention is shifting towards the translational promise of the completed human sequence and a new era of genomic medicine in mental disorders. A special emphasis of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) issued by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), National Institutes of Health (NIH), is to support applications that implement large-scale studies and innovative analytical designs that will disaggregate a given mental disorder into components of finite risks. These developments may be evolutionary or may be fundamentally new and may lead to paradigm shifts in the field. Applications submitted in response to this FOA may propose new technologies for cost effective whole genome analysis and in-depth sequencing and analysis of candidate genes and genomic regions in pedigrees or in a sample of unrelated cases with mental disorders. Applications for large-scale haplotype analysis and the development of new analytical methods also are encouraged.
