Page 2

The diseases that are included in this inquiry are early onset myocardial infarction, anthropometry, extremely low density lipoprotein, early onset ischemic stroke, extrelemy low or high blog pressure, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, asthma, and acute lung injury.

The Identifying Heart, Lung, and Blood Disease-Causing Variants Program seeks to collaborate with population geneticists, epidemiologists, statistical geneticists, disease experts, and laboratory genomic experts to gain a more thorough and efficient understanding of the newly established exome variants associated with the complex diseases that are identified by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

The agencies funding this program is set to administer a total of $1,515,000 per year to support the activities of the program in focus.

In order to be eligible to submit an application for this program you should be any of the following:

Genomic Advances to Wound Repair
The National Institutes of Health has coordinated with the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) to establish a program called Genomic Advances to Wound Repair in an effort to jump-start research studies that have the potential to deepen the understanding of genomic mechanism associated with the repair and development of wounds that are chronic in nature, which implies that these wounds have failed to enter into a reparative process after three months.
