STAMPEED: SNP Typing for Association with Multiple Phenotypes from Existing Epidemiologic Data

Program Description

The purpose of this initiative is to support studies to identify genetic variants related to heart, lung, and blood disorders and their risk factors by utilizing genome-wide association studies in existing human studies. Multiple GWAS grants were awarded for the study of a wide variety of cardiovascular, lung and blood disorders. Data will be available at no cost to all qualified investigators via an application process involving an NHLBI Data Access Committee.

The NHLBI Program Officer for STAMPEED is Cashell Jaquish, Ph.D.
