Are there any restrictions on proposals that involve human population studies?
Yes. The RFA requires applicants to propose projects involving human cells and tissues, and applicants may propose to investigate epigenomes in existing (archived) or new human biospecimens that are collected as part of other ongoing funded human clinical or epidemiological studies of human disease. Proposals seeking to initiate new human epidemiological or clinical studies for the purpose of collecting biospecimens for epigenomic analysis are outside the scope of this funding announcement. However, the addition of an epigenome-wide mapping component, funded through this RFA, to an ongoing clinical or epidemiological study of human disease may be appropriate.
