NIH funds new Genomics and Public Service Fellowship Program

Posted on by Alexis

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) a five-year, $7.1 million contract to support a new Genomics and Public Service Fellowship Program, which will provide early-stage professionals with experience in a range of genomics careers.

“Careers in genomics extend well beyond the laboratory now. There is an entire rainbow of opportunities to advance genomics in research, medicine and society,” said NHGRI Director Eric Green, M.D., Ph.D. “Future advances in genomics will need the next generation of minds working in the education, communications, policy and scientific program areas. This new ASHG-NHGRI fellowship program will provide novel training opportunities to foster such experts.”
