Agenda for March 2007 SACGHS Meeting Now Available
By Trevor | March 23, 2007
The final agenda is now available online for the 12th meeting of the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Genetics, Health, and Society, which will be held Monday, March 26th and Tuesday, March 27th in Adelphi, MD. This is the committee that earlier this year completed its report on the viability of a large population cohort study in the U.S. that was originally proposed by Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute.
The agenda for this month’s meeting does not seem to include any new information pertaining to the large population study. However, the agenda does include a briefing on the status of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a session on the oversight of genetic testing, a session on gene patents and licensing practices, and proposals for new SACGHS study priorities. The two-day event will be webcast live on the web, and an archive of the webcast will be available shortly after its conclusion. Link
