CALL FOR PAPERS
NHGRI Call for Papers – Genomics at the frontiers of social and behavioral science research: theory, discovery, and translation. This special issue of Social Science & Medicine solicits papers focusing on the application of social science theory to advance the study of genomic translation.

The submission and review process will occur in two stages. First, authors should submit an extended abstract of 800 words by October 15, 2017, along with a cover letter explaining the unique features of the study, review, or commentary and how the contribution fits within the call for papers to GenomicFrontiers.SSM@nih.gov. Authors whose submissions fall within the scope of the special issue will be invited to submit a full manuscript between October 31, 2017 and February 1, 2018, with the goal of publishing the special issue in May 2019.
