The Austrian Science Fund FWF approved the Special Research Program (SFB)  "Polygenic adaptation: from single selected loci to the infinitesimal model".

During a 4-year period, funds of 3.9 million Euro will enable the SFB members to conduct excellent research in the field of population genetics.

The SFB is a joint collaboration of Neda Barghi (speaker), Robert Kofler and Christian Schlötterer (Institute of Population Genetics, Vetmeduni), vice speaker Joachim Hermisson and Himani Sachdeva (Univ. of Vienna), Magnus Nordborg and Kelly Swarts (GMI), and Nick Barton (ISTA).
