TaRGET I: Chromatin Structure, Genomics, and Transcriptional Responses to the Environment (R01)
In order to understand the mechanisms by which toxicants impact gene expression, it is necessary to better understand how exposure affects the proteins and processes upstream of DNA methylation and other epigenetic marks. The NIEHS has made a significant investment in research aimed at identifying epigenetic signatures of exposure, but the mechanistic studies aimed at identifying how these epigenetic marks are established are currently under-represented in our portfolio. The purpose of this FOA is to encourage research applications that will potentially move the field from descriptive and correlative studies to an enhanced mechanistic understanding of how environmental exposures affect the proteins and functional genomic elements involved in establishing and maintaining gene expression patterns and chromatin states.
