Public Policy Statements
Human genetics and genomics research is providing remarkable insights into the structure and function of the human genome and how this knowledge can be translated into healthcare advances. This scientific progress relies on continued public investment in biomedical research. ASHG writes letters and statements in support of the Society’s policy priorities as well as joins in coalition with the broader biomedical research advocacy community to support robust, predictable, and sustainable federal research funding to fuel scientific advances.
