November 3, 2008: Internal Request for Proposals (RFP) Issued
GENI is designed to bring together several areas of traditional excellence at the School – environmental health research, population science, quantitative methods, and bench science - to make an important contribution to understanding the combined effects of genetic and environmental factors on human health and their underlying mechanisms.
In 2007, GENI issued its first RFP and funded three proposals in the spring of 2008. GENI is now pleased to issue a second round of its Request for Proposals.
