Collaborating with CERA

How can I collaborate with CERA?

The Center for ELSI Resources and Analysis (CERA) is pleased to collaborate with individuals and organizations who share the mission of enhancing the production, sharing, and use of scholarship on the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genetics and genomics.

While CERA cannot offer funding outside of our support to the CERA Working Groups, we are eager to assist collaborators with organizational support, space on the ELSIhub platform, networking opportunities, and communications via the CERA newsletter, and social media platforms on BlueSky, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.

How does CERA select new partners?

We value new collaborations that are of mutual benefit. Collaborators who would like to develop or offer new resources or programming and can bring the following are of particular interest to CERA:

  • The ability to introduce CERA, ELSIhub, or its resources, to new audiences;
  • An interest in sharing existing or developing new resources that enhance the production and/or dissemination of ELSI scholarship;
  • Concrete plans to increase the diversity of the ELSI community and center historically marginalized voices;
  • The capacity to bring “ELSI-adjacent” scholars closer to the center of the ELSI community;
  • A new perspective on a fundamental ELSI issue or focus on an emerging, high priority, or understudied issue;
  • The ability to facilitate production or dissemination of ELSI scholarship across national borders

How can I further the existing work of CERA?

The following are ways that collaborators can further the existing work of CERA:

How do I tell CERA that I would like to collaborate?
