NIH will provide $75 million to support clinical sites focused on improving genomic risk assessments for common, complex diseases.
NIH has announced that it will provide $75 million in funding over five years for the Electronic Medical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) Genomic Risk Assessment and Management Network, which aims to establish protocols for improved genomic risk assessment of diverse populations.
The eMERGE Network is supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of NIH. 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. The sites will combine genomic and environmental factors and investigate how future findings can be used to...
