Why participate in the Advocates Partnership Program at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Annual Meeting?

Genetics professionals obtain a greater understanding of the impact of their work in the broader health community through engaging with individuals who have a different access point or perspective, and often times different solutions, to emerging challenges to translating genetic research findings into improved outcomes for healthcare and public health systems. Genetics professionals acknowledge advocacy organizations as a resource and together, can create policies critical to developing and broadening access to services, advancing research, and enabling translation.

Deadline for applications: Friday, September 10, 2010
Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis; please apply early!
