Genetically informed Research, Education, And Treatment (GREAT)
The GREAT core will provide consultation on how to formulate genetically informed research and training in ethics and logistical challenges will improve research and increase the impact of studies. The GREAT Core supports a) the translational scientist through consultation and training on genetically-informed research, and b) the community by engaging in understanding the role of genetics in health.
Fee Schedule for Study Support
The GREAT Core provides fee-for support Genomic study support in the following categories: study design, running studies, data analysis, and research training and career development. Please complete the following application and we will contact you.
Recommended Resources
Publicly Accessible Databases for Human Cohorts with Genetic Data
Below is a quick-reference guide to publicly accessible cohorts with genetic data. Access to data for each study is detailed on their respective websites, and typically involves executing a data use agreement that will specify the conditions of use and any other requirements (e.g., IRB approval or data security plan).

Additional Resources
The NIMH Data Archive (https://nda.nih.gov/) and the Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP) (https://dbgap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/home) are constantly evolving archival resources for NIH-funded studies, including those with genomic data.
If you are interested in a 30-minute consultation with a member of the GREAT team members to learn more about these data resources, please submit a request through this link (https://redcap.rutgers.edu/surveys/?s=38CDA3NPMHMM7W48).
