Implicating Noncoding RNAs in the Genetics of Mental Disorders (R01)

archived

-Purpose. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications that investigate the role of microRNAs and other noncoding RNAs in the etiology of mental disorders. The data generated by this effort will contribute to the disaggregation of the molecular machinery underlying mental disorders by integrating sequence specific modulators of post-transcriptional gene expression into a theoretical framework of disease pathophysiology, with the aim of rapid, widespread sharing of the resulting data to accelerate genetic analysis of human diseases. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the NIH Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism and runs in parallel with FOAs of identical scientific scope, PA-07-372, which solicits applications under the R21 mechanism and PA-07-371, which solicits applications under the Collaborative R01 mechanism -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
