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.
