RCDeCade: 10 Years and Still Counting
Remember hearing those stories about how your grand-PIs had to walk five miles, in the snow, uphill, with no shoes just to learn how NIH spent its research budget? Well, believe it or not, but that was just ten years ago. Today, we have the Research, Condition, and Disease Categorization (RCDC) webtool to do this in a blink of an eye. Now, following the official release of Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 data and updated estimates for FYs 2018 and 2019 last month, we wanted to celebrate a successful decade of service.   With origins stemming from the NIH Reauthorization Act of 2006, and now available via NIH RePORT, RCDC is a h...

Rare Genetic Syndromes as a Window into the Genetic Architecture of Mental Disorders (Collaborative U01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-MH-19-201 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This initiative will foster collaborative and coordinated efforts to characterize the underlying genetic architecture of diverse neuropsychiatric phenotypes within and across rare genetic disorders and identify the shared genetic risk across rare and idiopathic neuropsychiatric disorders. Projects from multi-disciplinary teams will utilize genome-wide data to comprehensively assess the contribution of genetic variation to the variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance of neuropsychiatric phenotypes across rare genetic disorders. Projects...
