RTP-based RTI International (www.rti.org), a scientific and technology research organization, has been awarded a three-year, $6.8 million contract from the National Institutes of Health to maximize the benefits of research exploring the relationships between genetics, environment, health and disease. The grant, the PhenX project, calls for RTI to develop a set of standard measures to be used in future genetics research; the standard measures will be recommended for use in Genome-Wide Association Studies and other large-scale population genomic and epidemiologic research efforts to maximize the benefits of future research.
RTI is a CED member.
