NIH/National Human Genome Research InstituteSep 23 2024 The National Institutes of Health is awarding $5.4 million in first-year funding to establish a new program that supports the integration of genomics into learning health systems .
The network consists of six clinical study sites and a coordinating center, all of which have an operating learning health system. Each clinical site will propose a project that uses patient data to develop and refine some aspect of genomic medicine. These could include implementing testing for hereditary diseases or using genomic information to select which medications a patient is given.
Robb Rowley, M.D., program director in the Division of Genomic Medicine, National Human Genome Research Institute , part of NIH "Currently, the success of learning health systems is typically limited to highly-resourced medical centers," said Teri Manolio, M.D., Ph.D., director of NHGRI's Division of Genomic Medicine. "We hope this initiative will provide generalizable tools that enable limited-resource settings to learn from their ongoing experiences to improve their implementation of genomic medicine.
