Grant Description: The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) invites applications for grants to develop and conduct short-term continuing education programs in cutting edge techniques and applications of epigenetics. The program should include both didactic and hands-on laboratory experiences. The goal of this short course training program is to develop skills and knowledge in epigenetics among investigators that will enable their application in basic research studies, and to disseminate course materials and instructional experience to the larger scientific community. The NICHD plans to commit $300,000 in total costs in this program in FY2009, to fund 3-6 awards. New awards will be up to 5 years in duration.
