Narrative American Indian and Alaska Native concerns about genomic research have been well-documented and continue to constitute significant obstacles to participation in genomic research. Our center seeks to make progress on these issues through community-led ELSI research and a commitment to training the next generation of leaders in the field, from both the academy and the community.
Project Narrative The lack of American Indian and Alaska Native professionals in genomic sciences today highlights the tremendous need for effective training and research programs to prepare the next generation of indigenous students to be successful in their pursuit of careers in genetics research. This program combines didactic and experiential training activities, together with indigenous and community-based models of learning, to engage underrepresented Native students in research on the ethical, legal, and social implications of genomics research.
