Social Epigenomics Research Focused on Minority Health and Health Disparities (PAR-16-355 and PAR-16-356). The objectives are to (1) advance the science of epigenomics focused on minority health and health disparities, (2) expand approaches for understanding epigenetic mechanisms by which social factors lead to biological changes that affect health disparities, and (3) promote epigenetics research to better diagnose disease risk or resiliency among disadvantaged populations. Successful projects will support human-based epigenomic research, with a particular focus on the identification and study of human epigenetic marks that are of social origin or are substantially influenced at a population level by social processes.
