This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $487,567 to Indiana University to conduct integrative genomic analysis and develop high-dimensional risk prediction models for congenital heart defects (CHDs). The research aims to identify genetic variants and biological pathways associated with CHDs, as well as build predictive models leveraging genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, and maternal lifestyle data. The project will utilize samples and data from large federal initiatives like the National Birth Defects Prevention Studies, Pediatric Cardiac Genomics Consortium, and Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine CHD Biobank. Indiana University has subcontracted a portion of the work to Stanford University to provide expertise in biostatistical methodologies, genetic epidemiology, and high-dimensional disease risk prediction. The award period runs from September 8, 2023 to August 31, 2024.
