The purpose of this initiative is to support the infrastructure needed to ensure the receipt, DNA extraction and quality control, genotyping ancestry informative markers, storage, and distribution to a sequencing laboratory of high-quality DNA collected in the NIAAA National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol
and Related ConditionsIII (NESARCIII).NIAAA seeks Research Resource Center applications (U24) under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).The long-term goal of repository activities included under this FOA is to provide a foundation for future data sharing of phenotypic and genetic data from the NIAAA NESARCIII and the development of cyberinfrastructure that will integrate genetic and genomic resources to provide a usable and enabling framework for human genetic research and gene discovery in alcohol use disorders and their associated disabilities.
