<p class="Normal"><b>Purpose</b></p>
<p class="Normal">This purpose of this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) is to inform the extramural community about NHGRI&#8217;s interest in supporting research on pressing public health questions that can uniquely be addressed by collaborative efforts of large international cohort studies. Specifically, this call is limited to coordinated efforts focused on the collection and analysis of data or samples from ancestrally diverse cohorts of individuals participating in the International Hundred Thousand+ Cohort Consortium.</p>
<p class="Normal"><b>Background</b><br />
Obesity is a major risk factor for leading causes of death including heart disease and stroke, diabetes, and some cancers, as well as disability due to osteoarthritis and other degenerative conditions. Worldwide, obesity has more than tripled since 1975, and most of the world&#8217;s population live in countries where more people die from obesity and being overweight than being underweight. Opioid use disorder has also become a public health crisis; globally, more than 100,000 people died of opioid overdose in 2017, while an estimated 1.7 million Americans suffered from opioid use disorders. Opioid use disorder, obesity, and numerous other risk factors are more prevalent in populations of lower socioeconomic status, including ethnic minorities and rural populations. Limited access to high-quality healthcare limits the potential to reduce these risk factors and ameliorate their adverse effects. Many of these factors are also associated with increased susceptibility to infection with the SARS-CoV2 virus and resultant morbidity and mortality from the illness it causes, COVID-19.</p>
<p class="Normal">Applications in response to this NOSI are limited to active grants to network coordinating centers supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).</p>
<p class="Normal"><b>Research Objectives</b><br />
Large international cohort studies such as those collaborating in the International Hundred Thousand+ Cohorts Consortium (IHCC, <a href="https://ihccglobal.org/" Title="Link to Non-U.S. Government Site"><u>https://ihccglobal.org/</u></a>) are uniquely positioned to address pressing public health questions on a global scale that no cohort can answer alone. Such questions include, but are not limited to, the etiology and impact of critical risk factors for morbidity and mortality such as obesity, lower socioeconomic status, minority status, poor access to health care, and global pandemics. Research topics responsive to this NOSI include, but are not limited to:</p>
<ul>
<li class="Normal" style="list-style-type: disc;">Genetic and environmental determinants of adverse mental health outcomes in the COVID-19 pandemic</li>
<li class="Normal" style="list-style-type: disc;">Role of genetically determined and environmentally mediated risk for obesity on morbidity and mortality in childhood and later life</li>
<li class="Normal" style="list-style-type: disc;">Genetic and environmental determinants of adverse outcomes from opioid use</li>
<li class="Normal" style="list-style-type: disc;">Identification of metabolomic or other biomarkers for poor health outcomes in persons of diverse genetic ancestries</li>
<li class="Normal" style="list-style-type: disc;">Role of genetic variation in susceptibility to and severe outcomes from SARS-CoV2 infection</li>
<li class="Normal" style="list-style-type: disc;">Use of polygenic risk scores in predicting susceptibility to or adverse outcomes from SARS-CoV2 infection, obesity, opioid use, and other serious threats to public health</li>
<li class="Normal" style="list-style-type: disc;">Improved harmonization and utilization of global data to address serious threats to public health such as SARS-CoV2 infection, obesity, opioid use, and health disparities</li>
</ul>
<p class="Normal">Funds may be used for the collection and analysis of data or samples from human cohorts of individuals participating in the IHCC. Expanding the representation of ancestrally and geographically diverse cohorts in these efforts, and improving methods for cost-efficient and secure analysis, are also strongly encouraged.</p>
<p class="Normal">NHGRI strongly encourages investigators to promote the collection of comparable data across studies and to do so by incorporating measures from the PhenX Toolkit (www.phenxtoolkit.org) when applicable.</p>
