Addressing the Underrepresentation of Minorities in Genetic Research
To help correct the longstanding underrepresentation of minorities in genetic databases used for medical research and Precision Medicine, our team will conduct a series of semi-structured interviews with members of 4 groups: researchers, journal editors, genetic database administrators, and research regulators/funders. We seek to learn how they see the problem and its causes and how they and their organizations are addressing it. The interviews will be done on Zoom, with most of them done in summer 2024 in conjunction with the Summer Undergraduate Mentored Research Program (SUMR) of U. Penn’s Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI).
