The undersigned urge the National Institutes of Health to reconsider the Epigenomics Roadmap Initiative. The initiative should be recast to consider a broader approach that supports fundamental valuable scientific discovery into cell-type programming at all levels and in a variety of biological systems.

Updates

October 8, 2008

The feedback regarding the current trajectory of the Epigenomics Roadmap Initiative remains both insightful and compelling. Discussions are underway to ensure that a more diverse range of biological systems is represented in future research priorities.

PLEASE rethink this. so many wasted resources when we could be looking at the bigger picture.

the roadmap is way to limited. lets support actual discovery not just box checking exercises.

science needs to be about more than just these specific projects. keep the funding open to real innovation.

stop narrowing the scope. research needs to stay broad to actually help people.
