REANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PHARMACOGENETIC RESEARCH NETWORK AND DATABASE

Release date:  March 6, 2000

NOTICE:  GM-00-003

National Institute of General Medical Sciences

The purpose of this notice is to alert the research community to the 
participating NIH institutes  intention to re-release the 
Pharmacogenetic Research Network and Database Request for Applications 
(RFA) for competition in FY2001.   A detailed RFA will be posted in the 
NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts within the next few weeks.  
Potential applicants should refer to the current RFA GM-99-004 
published on December 22, 1998, found at 
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-GM-99-004.html.

In this reannouncement, NIH again does not plan to specify which 
proteins or genes should be studied in an application for the 
Pharmacogenetic Research Network and Database.  A Research Group will 
specify where it wants to concentrate its activities.  Variations in 
the effects of drugs on cells and tissues as mediated by target 
receptors (or pharmacodynamics) are of particular interest.  A Database 
Group will specify how it offers a component or tool that complements 
the existing Pharmacogenetic Knowledge Base.
