Developing novel theory and methods for understanding the genetic architecture of complex human traits (R21)
NIH · United States
Funds the exploratory version of the same theory-and-methods work on complex trait variation, for ideas that need testing before a larger project is justified.
Personal Health Informatics for Delivering Actionable Insights to Individuals
