Conceptualizing Actionability in Clinical Genomic Screening
Institution: University of Pennsylvania
FOA Number: PA-19-130
Abstract
Project Narrative. This K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award will prepare the candidate to become an independent, mixed-methods ELSI researcher pursing a research program on ethical issues related to the actionability of genomic information. The study examines the values and assumptions underlying conceptualizations of the actionability of genomic information for healthy populations. Results of the study will contribute to the ethical and effective implementation of genomic sequencing into care for healthy populations.
