NHGRI Research Training and Career Development Annual Meeting

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) provides both institutional and individual funding to help scientists develop their skills as researchers and professionals. Our programs offer opportunities at the undergraduate, postbaccalaureate, graduate, postdoctoral and faculty levels. This has created a large, diverse, multi-disciplinary community of researchers.

The Annual Meeting is a venue for trainees supported by NHGRI in the fields of genomic sciences, genomic medicine, and ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) research to present their research and form collaborations with other trainees and established researchers from training programs across the United States.

These three-day meetings accommodate 300 to 400 attendees and involve a mix of plenary presentations and concurrent peer-reviewed platform, panel and poster presentations.
