Replication and Fine-Mapping Studies for the Genes Environment and Health Initiative (GEI)(R01): -Purpose. This funding opportunity announcement (FOA), administered by the National Cancer Institute, is a part of the Genes, Environment, and Health Initiative (GEI, http://www.gei.nih.gov/) sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The purpose of this FOA is to provide support for replication and fine-mapping studies of genetic regions that are putatively associated with common complex traits, primarily those identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The proposed projects should aim to enhance the identification of causal variants influencing complex diseases. Any phenotype may be appropriate for these projects (i.e., studies need not be oriented on cancer or cancer-related phenotypes). This FOA will not support recruitment of human subjects, collection of human specimens, collection of medical or phenotype data, studies using animal models, or discovery genome-wide association efforts. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH research project (R01) grant mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. The NCI has set aside $2 million in Fiscal Year 2009 for 4-6 awards under this FOA.
