Financial and Reporting Information It is anticipated that one Myriad-PGRN Research Grant will be awarded this year. The funding can be used for a variety of purposes but is expected to be used for effort for individuals to collect, clean, merge, analyze, or publish data. Funding for additional genotyping in pharmacogenetic validation studies or for investigator/librarian time to develop a high-quality meta-analysis on a broad mental health PGx topic, for example, are acceptable. The awardees will be required to present the results of their research at a future PGRN Research in Progress Symposium and/or PGRN Annual Meeting. Myriad will have no requirements for data or publication approval as part of this program as it is not intended to utilize Myriad products or data. Myriad hopes to facilitate high quality research in this field through this PGRN grant program. *Definitions of diversity and underserved for this RFA:
