Human Genes and the Environment Research Training Program (T32)
Agencies
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
This new Human Genes and the Environment Research Training Program, issued by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), seeks to build upon the established foundations in exposure biology and high throughput genomics and expands the base to include additional scientific disciplines, such as human genetics, population genetics/genomics, statistics, epidemiology, environmental genomics/genetics, mechanistic environmental health sciences, systems biology, metabolomics, engineering, computational biology, behavioral medicine, other clinical and biomedical elements, and other relevant areas, to define a new interdisciplinary science which can address the relative roles of genes and environmental exposures in complex diseases.
The goal is to produce a new generation of scientists who are equally at home in genomics and environmental health sciences and can seamlessly interact with both groups of scientists. This cadre of scientists will not only be equipped to advance methodologies and technologies in Environmental Genomics/Genetics, but also use these tools and resources to disentangle and evaluate the enormous number of environmental factors which directly influence or interact with some genotypes to determine the resultant phenotypic expression and clinical or physiologic endpoints.
Applicants to the program will need to elaborate their vision of the shared conceptual framework to the Human Genes and the Environment Research Training Program and identify a focus or theme within the research training needs of the larger interdiscipline that the proposed research training program intends to address. Each research training program is expected to build upon the research, faculty, didactic, infrastructure and grant support strengths of the Institution and meld these elements into a cohesive training experience.

Career Awards at the Scientific Interface (CASI)
Agencies
Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF)
Description
Advances in genomics, quantitative structural biology, and modeling of complex systems have created opportunities for an exciting research career at the interface between the physical/computational sciences and the biological sciences. Tackling key problems in biology will require scientists trained in areas such as chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Recognizing the vital role such cross-trained scientists will play in furthering biomedical science, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) has developed the Career Awards at the Scientific Interface (CASI). These grants provide bridging support to foster the early career development of researchers with backgrounds in the physical/computational sciences whose work addresses biological questions and who are dedicated to pursuing a career in academic research.
Award recipients are required to devote at least 80 percent of their time to research-related activities and are expected to draw from their training in a scientific field other than biology to propose innovative approaches to answer important questions in the biological sciences. Examples of approaches include, but are not limited to, physical measurement of biological phenomena, computer simulation of complex processes in physiological systems, mathematical modeling of self-organizing behavior, building probabilistic tools for medical diagnosis, developing novel imaging tools or biosensors, applying nanotechnology to manipulate cellular systems, predicting cellular responses to topological clues and mechanical forces, and developing a new conceptual understanding of the complexity of living organisms. Proposals that include experimental validation of theoretical models are particularly encouraged.
