PGA:
Programs for Genomic Applications
On September 30, 2000, the National Heart, Lung, and
Blood Institute (NHLBI) launched the Programs for Genomic
Applications (PGA). This program is a major initiative
to advance functional genomic research related to heart,
lung, blood, and sleep health and disorders. The goals
of the PGA include developing information, tools, and
resources to link genes to biological function on a
genomic scale. All the information, reagents, and tools
developed in the PGA will be freely available in a timely
manner to the research community. In addition, the PGA
will provide workshops, courses, and visiting scientist
programs to facilitate the training of researchers in
the use of the data and related technologies developed
by the PGA.
The NHLBI Program Officer for PGA is Susan
Old, Ph.D.
