Six new grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will support researchers to develop new computational approaches for searching among millions of genomic variants to find those that make a difference in disease susceptibility or in other traits. The awards are for three years each and total approximately $13 million, pending the availability of funds, NIH announced in a Sept. 21, 2015 press release. The awards are administered by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the National Cancer Institute, both parts of NIH.

For information on the grant winners, see Pharmaceutical Technology's coverage here.
