“I like to think of the office’s establishment as a wave in a rising tide of change within the genomics community all of us working together to lift up people and communities that have been historically left out.” “The TiDHE Office will work in close partnership with all parts of NHGRI and across the NIH institutes, centers and offices,” Bonham said. The office will be organizationally located within NHGRI’s Office of the Director. It also aims to promote genomics research to improve minority health, reduce health disparities and foster health equity. The mission of the TiDHE Office is to develop and support initiatives that cultivate genomics training and workforce development with a commitment to enhance opportunities for individuals underrepresented in biomedical research. “This office will serve as a catalyst for implementing major enhancements to our training program as well as our action agenda to build a more diverse genomics workforce, in addition to facilitating broader efforts in health equity research in genomics. “This organizational change reflects the Institute’s growing commitment to training, diversity and health equity,” said NHGRI Director Eric Green, M.D., Ph.D. The TiDHE office has been established to enable the highest level of genomic innovation by fostering diversity and health equity in genomics and genomic medicine.
