FOA-Enabling
Discovery through GEnomics (EDGE); Deadline
March

Agency
National
Science Foundation
National
Institutes of Health
Description
Through
the Enabling Discovery through GEnomics (EDGE)
program, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes for
Health (NIH) support research to advance understanding of comparative and
functional genomics. The EDGE program supports the development of innovative
tools, technologies, resources, and infrastructure that advance biological
research focused on the identification of the causal mechanisms connecting
genes and phenotypes. The EDGE program also supports functional genomic
research that addresses the mechanistic basis of complex traits in diverse
organisms within the context (environmental, developmental, social, and/or
genomic) in which they function. These goals are essential to uncovering the
rules that underlie genomes-to-phenomes relationships and predict phenotype, an
area relevant to Understanding
the Rules of
Life: Predicting Phenotype, one of the 10
Big Ideas for NSF investment. The goals also support the
NHGRI priority to establish the roles and relationships of all genes and
regulatory elements in pathways, networks, and phenotypes.
