HEAL Initiative: Discovery and Functional Evaluation of Human Pain-associated Genes and Cells (U19)

The purpose of this grant is to support research that uses human tissue or cells to generate comprehensive datasets for the discovery and characterization of functional genetic elements, epigenetic signatures, and molecular/cellular pathways that underlie human pain transduction, transmission, and processing.

Grants will support concerted multidisciplinary team science efforts that apply large-scale high-throughput approaches on tissues involved in human pain processing.
