Preference will be given to those proposals likely to impact human health in the near term, generally within five years. Proposals to study the ethical, environmental, economic, legal and social impacts of genomics/proteomics applied research on human health will also be considered.
Value:
No limit specified.
Duration:
Up to three years.
