Psychiatric Gene Networks: Solving the Molecular Puzzle of Psychiatric Disorders (Collaborative R01)

Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-16-310 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) and the companion FOA is to solicit applications for computational and functional analysis of gene networks and complex pathways that confer susceptibility to severe mental illnesses. These studies should leverage existing diverse multi-scale datasets and apply a combination of cutting-edge bioinformatics, computational predictive modeling, and systems biology approaches to identify and begin to evaluate novel genetic factors and molecular networks underlying functional pathways relevant to psychiatric disorders to verify their relationship or causality with disease/disease risk.The computational model predictions should be further replicated through independent datasets and confirmed using biological measures from existing and/or new experimental data.
