Request for Proposals: Proof of Concept Project using Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms

The Nevada INBRE and the Center for Bioinformatics request proposals from full-time faculty at UNR, UNLV and NVCI to develop and carry out a genome-wide association study based on Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Samples will be processed at the Coriell Institute for Medical Research using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0. The Nevada INBRE and the director of the Center of Bioinformatics will provide resources to design a robust experiment, to process and run the SNP arrays, and to help in data analysis and storage. Please see attached RFA for additional information.

Proposals are limited to 3 pages and must be submitted by 29 September 2008.
