Genomic Data Science Working Group

The NHGRI Genomic Data Science Working Group was created in 2017 as a subcommittee of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research. The working group has been charged with providing input to the NHGRI Director and other institute leaders about relevant trans-National Institutes of Health issues related to data science, for which NHGRI is frequently called upon for leadership and expertise. The general remit is deliberately broad, with the intent to make the working group poised to consider the full spectrum of data science challenges (from data management to data usage, including policy-related elements) as they relate to all areas of genomics (from basic science to genomic medicine implementation).

Each year, the GDSWG presents a report of subcommittee activities to the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research. View archived GDSWG reports below:
