Developing novel theory and methods for understanding the genetic architecture of complex human traits (R21 Clinical Trial Not Allowed) (PAR-23-301)


The goal of this NOFO is to support applications for novel theory and methods development that enable better understanding of how genetic and non-genetic factors contribute to complex trait variation across individuals, families, and populations. Approaches should account for interdependencies across scales of biological, social, and ecological organization, make extensive use of theory, modeling, and validation with available large-scale datasets, and may be interdisciplinary drawing from the natural and social sciences.
