Developing novel theory and methods for understanding the genetic architecture of complex human traits (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This funding opportunity supports researchers in developing innovative theories and methods to better understand the complex genetic and non-genetic factors influencing human traits and health, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches and diverse perspectives.
Description
The goal of this NOFO is to support R01 applications for novel theory and methods development that better delineate how genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to complex trait variation across individuals, families, and populations. Approaches should be interdisciplinary across the natural and social sciences, account for interdependencies across scales of biological, social, and ecological organization, and make extensive use of theory, simulations, and validation using available large-scale datasets
