NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – SRA International has won a grant that will total up to $15.5 million from the National Institutes of Health to provide biological research and other related services for studies in the National Toxicology Program.
SRA will use the funds from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences for up to five years to provide statistical, mathematical, bioinformatics, and computational expertise and support for the NTP, which is an interagency program that uses molecular biology and toxicology to evaluate agents of public health concern.
SRA, which has been working with NIEHS for over two decades, said it will continue supporting the NTP by designing and analyzing data from genomics research, toxicology bioassays, human studies, and basic biological research.
"Over the years, our work has evolved to require higher levels of expertise and support, and we hope to continue to support NIEHS in even more innovative ways," SRA VP Paul Nedzbala said in a statement.
