Description

The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) seeks to stimulate research that will link basic genomic discovery to the prevention and alleviation of symptoms in patients suffering from chronic disorders. Research grant applications are requested to study 1) the role of genomic variants in the observed inter-individual variation in the onset, sensitivity, duration, and severity of symptoms and/or responses to therapies designed to prevent, alleviate, or eliminate symptoms, and 2) the role of non-genomic influence(s) that may potentially moderate the effects of genomic variants in the manifestation of symptoms and/ or response to treatment. It is anticipated that the findings from this research will expand the body of knowledge needed to identify individuals at the highest risk for developing severe symptoms and to inform the search for customized therapeutics and interventions tailored to an individuals genomic profile.
