National Human Genome, Research InstituteThe very nature of genomic and ELSI research on the human genome demands the inclusion of a cadre of investigators with diverse perspectives and scientific interests. From its inception NHGRI has been concerned about including individuals from various groups in its activities. As the Institute has grown in size and complexity the need for this has become even more imperative and a variety of initiatives have been started and continue to evolve to address this need. This strategic plan brings these diverse activities into a coherent framework that poises the NHGRI to move forward effectively.NIH (National Institutes of Health)outreachinterventionsserviceGenetics and RaceUS Department of Health and Human ServicesOffice of Minority Healthhealth disparitieshuman genomeresearchdiverse populationsgenetic variationsminorityOther
