The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to establish a Data Analysis and Coordination Center (DACC) that will be part of a collaborative initiative to advance the application of multi-omic technologies to study health and disease in ancestrally diverse populations.

State: All States
County: All Counties
Territory: American Samoa, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 11/18/2022
Size of the Grant: $950,000
Grant Duration: 5 years
Details:
By leveraging clinical conditions where multi-omic approaches are expected to be most informative, this Consortium will:
- explore the use of multi-omics, integrated with phenotypic and environmental exposure data, including social determinants of health (SDOH), to detect and assess molecular “profiles” associated with healthy and disease states;
- leverage these association studies to develop generalizable data harmonization, integration, and analysis methods, as well as best practices and standards for the optimal application of multi-omics; and
- create a multi-dimensional dataset that is available to the research community.
While this program may provide some insights into disease etiology, its primary goal is to validate and enhance generalizable multi-omic approaches to identify meaningful biological changes related to health or disease.
The DACC (this RFA) will be primarily responsible for:
- Coordinating, and contributing to, Consortium-wide protocol development, data analysis, and methods development.
- Managing and securing Consortium data.
- Creating a multi-dimensional dataset that is available to the broader research community and a portal for visualization.
- Coordinating Consortium logistics.
- Coordinating outreach and dissemination of findings.
