Welcome to ELSIhub – Your Portal to ELSI Resources

We are delighted to announce the launch of ELSIhub! ELSIhub is your resource; now is the time to make it your own. Take a look around and bookmark the pages of most interest to you to personalize your ELSIhub experience. 

ELSIhub is the product of the NHGRI-funded CERA - the Center for ELSI Resources and Analysis - and provides a variety of support mechanisms for research into the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genomics. It is designed to be useful to ELSI researchers and trainees, and also to a wider audience of scholars and investigators in a range of disciplines, journalists and writers, policymakers, and the interested public.

Active and collaborative ELSI community members are key for ELSIhub to grow and thrive, Share your expertise and opinions along with your publications, media mentions, and research tools. Send us suggestions, opinion pieces, commentaries, videos, ideas for ELSI Friday Forum topics and speakers, and letters to start conversations and continue debates on the issues that matter most to you. 

  • Join the ELSI Scholars Directory and use it to find a new collaborator.
  • Join us virtually for ELSI Friday Forum – a monthly series on the second Friday of each month featuring people and topics across the spectrum of ELSI research.
  • See upcoming ELSI-related events and submit your events to be listed on our Events page. 
  • Working on an Op-Ed on an ELSI topic of your choice? Suggest it for a possible feature in our ELSIhub News & Events section! 
  • Were you interviewed, or did your ELSI research recently receive some media attention? Submit the coverage of your work to us to be featured in our In the Media section. 
  • Search the ELSI Publications database for published research.
  • Missed an event you really wanted to attend? Check out recordings of ELSI events on our Video page at your own convenience. 
  • Post a Job or search the job listings to find your next position.
  • Find Funding opportunities – with RFAs from NIH, foundations, and other sources. 
  • Just getting started in ELSI? Learn how to find and apply for grants from our Funding Training Videos.
  • Find or upload a research instrument or search for a survey, interview guide or other tool in the ELSI Research Tools.
  • What has been left out? Suggest an ELSI topic that is of interest to you!

ELSIhub was built on insights from a wide-ranging needs assessment process, interviews, and surveys of members of the ELSI community and beyond, and in close consultation with professionals in all areas of website development. But this launch is only the first step in a continuing process to refine and expand the current services as ELSIhub users can now engage in a collaboration to inform and improve the platform.


What do you like? What is missing? Tell us how ELSIhub can serve you best -  email your thoughts and suggestions to [email protected]. We sincerely look forward to hearing from you and engaging with you on this new project.

 

Warmly,

Mildred Cho and Sandra Soo-Jin Lee
