Four clinical and six enhanced diversity clinical sites to form eMERGE Genomic Risk Assessment and Management Network
The eMERGE Network has conducted research on how to effectively use electronic health records and large biorepositories for genomics research in order to eventually integrate genomic information into clinical care.
The funding will build upon the existing eMERGE network to support both a coordinating center and clinical sites specifically focused on better understanding disease risk and susceptibility by combining genomic and environmental factors and investigating how future findings can be used to help clinicians and patients manage disease risk.
About $61 million in total will be awarded over a period of five years to four clinical and six enhanced diversity clinical sites...
