The Center for Genetic Research Ethics
and Law (CGREAL) is one of four interdisciplinary Centers for
Excellence in Ethical, Legal and Social Implications Research
funded by the National Human
Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) to address some of the most pressing ethical, legal
and social questions raised by recent advances in genetic and
genomic research.
This center studies the ethical issues
in the design and conduct of human genetic research, including the protection of human subjects in research.
The center
conducts research, surveys
existing ethical, legal and social implications research and current
genetic research regulations and guidelines to determine how adequately
they address present and emerging ethical concerns, and develops resources that will contribute
to stronger policies and guidelines in genetic research.
This project is supported by NIH grant
#1P50HG03390.
