• The Dark Matter of Genomic Associations with Complex Diseases: Explaining the Unexplained Heritability from Genome-Wide Association Studies
  Held February 2-3, 2009 in Bethesda, Md. The Dark Matter of Genomic Associations with Complex Diseases: Finding the Unexplained Heritability from Genome-Wide Association Studies workshop was convened to examine the potential sources of missing heritability and propose research strategies, including and extending beyond current genome-wide association study approaches, in order to illuminate the genetics of complex diseases.
  
  
• Epidemiology for Researchers Performing Genetic/Genomic Studies
  Held July 18, 2008 in Bethesda, Md. at Natcher Auditorium, NIH campus, this short course was for investigators and trainees doing research in human genetics, particularly studies employing genomic analyses of samples from human populations. It consisted of eight lectures aimed at familiarizing researchers studying the human genome with basic principles and potential pitfalls of epidemiology as applied to human genome research.
  
  
• Genetics for Epidemiologists: Application of Human Genomics to Population Sciences
  Held May 13-14, 2008 at Northwestern University in Chicago, Genetics for Epidemiologists: Application of Human Genomics to Population Sciences, was a short course for investigators and trainees in the field of epidemiology and related population-based sciences. The course consisted of eight one-hour lectures and focused on the interface between genetics and epidemiology.
