The Rotterdam Study is funded by Erasmus Medical Center and Erasmus University Rotterdam (The Netherlands); Netherlands Organization for the Health Research and Development (ZonMw); the Research Institute for Diseases in the Elderly; the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science; the Ministry for Health, Welfare and Sports; the European Commission (DG XII); and the Municipality of Rotterdam. The Genotype-Tissue Expression Project was supported by the Common Fund of the Office of the Director of the National Institutes of Health and by the National Cancer Institute; the National Human Genome Research Institute; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; the National Institute on Drug Abuse; the National Institute of Mental Health; and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
