This grant, offered by a Health Research Department, aims to support investigator-initiated research on genetic counseling processes and practices within genomic medicine. The primary purpose of this initiative is to optimize genetic counseling amidst limited resources. Grants will fund targeted studies to assess, innovate, scale, and implement novel genetic counseling practices. This grant seeks to address critical challenges such as the shortage of trained healthcare professionals in genetic counseling, the uneven access to in-person services across U.S. healthcare systems, and difficulties in effectively communicating complex genomic findings to clinicians, patients, and their families. The ultimate goal is to enhance the efficiency and reach of genetic counseling services nationwide.
