Program Objective
The general purpose of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) is to characterize the structure and function of the human genome, including the mapping and sequencing of individual genes. This also includes reviewing and funding research proposals, developing training programs, coordinating international genome research, communicating advances in genome science to the public, and reviewing and funding proposals to address the ethical and legal issues associated with this research.
NHGRI supports the development of methods, resources and technologies to improve the health of all humans through advances in genomics research. NHGRI supports research that accelerates foundational resources, technology development, and experimental and computational approaches for basic genomics and functional genomics research; for the application of genomics to medical science and clinical care; to improve minority health, reduce health disparities, and foster health equity; and to support ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) research concerning societal issues that need to be addressed as genomic science advances. NHGRI develops and supports initiatives that expand opportunities for genomics education and careers, cultivating genomics training programs and workforce development initiatives.
