or comprehensive assessments in the case of some constructs. However, it represents a step toward facilitating collaborative efforts in genetics research. The use of standardized measures across studies could also help advance the cGxE field, with greater emphasis placed on replication and combined analyses across research groups to enhance sample size and corresponding power. The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) at NIH also has resources on its website [http://obssr.od.nih.gov/] to help social scientists with the incorporation of genetic information into their studies. Many of these issues are not specific to the study of psychopathology. A recent paper on gene-environment interactions in cancer epidemiology, coming out of a National Cancer Institute think tank, described similar challenges (Hutter, Mechanic, Chatterjee, Kraft, & Gillanders, 2013).
