Call for Proposals
The program supports research across a spectrum: basic research, translational research and clinical research to establish how to use genomic information to advance medical care. The Aim of the program is to support R&D activities for i) understanding the role of genetic components in health and disease and the cross-talk of these components with environmental and lifestyle factors, ii) translating the understanding thus acquired for the improvement of human health, iii) development of genomics-based strategies for prediction, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease, iv) development of early- warning minimally invasive diagnostic biomarkers for diseases with a genetic basis, v) building capacity in human genetics and genomics by promoting training on technology platforms and methodologies for genome analysis in relation to human health and disease, etc.
