News Release
NIH is awarding $5.4 million in first-year funding to establish a new program that supports the integration of genomics into learning health systems. As genomic testing becomes increasingly common, more and more genomic data are available in clinical settings, and learning health systems present an opportunity to translate this evidence quickly and directly into improvements in medical care.
… across the United States, learning health systems are a type of clinical practice that bridges research and patient …
