Discoveries in genetics and genomics are becoming increasingly relevant to everyday life, but communicating research findings for such complex and nuanced science can be challenging. Researchers are often not given sufficient training for describing their findings to a broad audience while balancing accessibility and accuracy.
The American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) co-sponsor the Genomics Communications Fellowship to provide an opportunity for science professionals to become skilled in the area of genomics communications. Fellows will actively participate in the development and dissemination of innovative and newsworthy communications products to help people learn about genomics and its expanding role in science, medicine, and society.
