QNRF and QGP Announce Results of Fifth Cycle of Path Towards Precision Medicine Call

Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF) and Qatar Genome Program (QGP)are proud to announce the completion of the 5th cycle of the Path Towards Precision Medicine (PPM) program, a unique funding program aimed at supporting and advancing research to guide healthcare decisions towards the most effective prevention, diagnosis and/or treatment based on a patient’s unique genetic profile. This call is committed to the enhancement of genomic research efforts in Qatar with an added focus on innovative projects aimed at translating basic research into tangible clinical implementation. For the fifth cycle of PPM, researchers were invited to apply for the following four priority areas:

  • Clinical genomics of pediatric diseases
  • Clinical implementation of pharmacogenomics
  • Digital e-solutions and applications related to precision medicine
  • Genomics/multi-omics characterization of immune responses

Staying true to its mission of serving Qatar’s national needs and interests, under the 5th PPM cycle, QNRF and QGP received 23 proposals from different research institutions across Qatar. These proposals were subjected to a through screening  and competitive scientific and strategic review process. To catalyze the support of genomic research in Qatar, 4 proposals have been selected to receive funding.

Please browse through the list below to learn more about the awarded research projects.
