Active Grants 5P30CA042014-24 (Beckerle) 5/9/97-4/30/20 1.8 calendar National Institutes of Health $950,030 Title: Cancer Center Support Grant Goals: The purpose of this project is to support the research infrastructure of the Cancer Center. It promotes scientific excellence through coordinated, broad-based interdisciplinary programs and support of state-of-the-art shared research resources. Role: Staff Investigator R01HD061821 (Cannon-Albright/Norton) 8/15/09-6/30/16 1.8 calendar National Institutes of Health $2,348,381 Title: Identification of genes predisposition to Pelvic Floor Disorders Goals: The purpose of this project is to create a population-based resource of surgically treated pelvic organ prolapse cases, pursue established an new methods to identify and localize predisposition genes affecting pelvic organ prolapse, and begin a detailed search for the chromosome 9 gene we have localized. Role: Principal Investigator R01CA164138 (Tavtigian/Cannon-Albright) 8/1/12-5/30/17 1.8 calendar National Institutes of Health $1,956,756 Title: Massively Parallel Sequencing for Familial Colon Cancer Genes Goals: The purpose of this project is to identify and characterize new colon cancer susceptibility genes. To search for high-risk susceptibility genes, whole exome sequencing will be used to mutation screen two subjects each from a series of multi-generation colon cancer pedigrees. Role: Co-Principal Investigator U01 CA89600 (PTE PI: Thibodeau; Site PI: Cannon-Albright) 9/1/12- 8/31/17 0.6 calendar National Institutes of Health $1,394,647 Title: Prostate cancer susceptibility ? the ICPCG Study (International Consortium on Prostate Cancer Genetics) Goals: The purpose of this project is to analyze genotypic data from regions of interest on high-risk pedigrees. Role: Principal Investigator, University of Utah subaward 1R01CA161780-01A1 (Schiffman) 4/1/12-3/31/17 0.36 calendar National Institutes of Health $2,026,843 Title: Genetic Risk Factors of Ewings Sarcoma Goals: The purpose of this project is to determine the association between the length of EWS-FL11 fusion protein binding sites (MSRS) and risk of ES, to determine the frequency and commonality of Caucasian ancestral markers in cases of ES self-identified as non-Caucasian, as well as to determine the association between genomic variants associated with hernia development and risk of ES. Role: Co-Investigator SPLB-001-14S (Cannon-Albright) 7/1/14-6/30/17 Effort: 5/8 Department of Veterans Affairs $1,201,059 Title: Creation and Analysis of a National VA Genealogy/Medical Phenotype Resource Goals: The purpose of this project is to develop a complete U.S. genealogy linked to nationwide VHA data which could someday provide the basis for individual relative risk estimations, segregation studies, disease association studies, pharmacogenomic studies, gene expression. Role: Principal Investigator W81XWH-14-PCRP-IDA (Cannon-Albright) 9/21/15-9/20/17 1.2 calendar Department of Defense $553,483 Title: Identification of Prostate Cancer Predisposition Genes on the Y Chromosome Goals: We hypothesize the existence of Y chromosome genes related to increased risk, and here propose an innovative study to identify the responsible Y chromosome genes or variants. Role: Principal Investigator R01 DE023414 (Hashibe/Tavtigian) 7/1/14-6/30/19 0.6 calendar National Institutes of Health $2,659,573 Title: Exome sequencing for head and neck cancer susceptibility genes Goals: The major goals of the project are to exome sequence 200 familial head and neck cancer cases, apply case-control mutation screening to the candidate predisposition genes identified in 2,000 cases and 2,000 controls, and assess whether the genetic risks differ by subsite and epidemiologic risk groups. Role: Co-Investigator 1R01CA195614 (Huff/Cannon-Albright) 4/1/15-3/31/20 0.96 calendar National Institutes of Health $3,645,966 Title: High throughput sequencing to identify novel melanoma susceptibility genes Goals: To identify candidate genes and novel melanoma-gene associations and test for somatic-germline interaction by targeted sequencing of tumor samples Role: Co-Principal Investigator
