This workshop provides an overview of the current initiatives of CDC's National Office of Public Health Genomics (NOPHG) and its new portfolio for genomics translation research and surveillance activities to increase knowledge about the validity, utility, utilization, and population health impact of genetic testing, family history, and other genomic applications. The workshop will highlight NOPHG's initiative called Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention (EGAPP), which serves as an example of a systematic, evidence-based process for evaluating genetic tests and other applications of genomic technology that are in transition from research to clinical and public health practice.

Presenters:

Ralph Coates - National Office of Public Health Genomics, CDC
