The Research Advocacy Network – in conjunction with Genomic Health and a select group of subject experts – has launched a new education module for advocates interested in learning more about genetics and genomics and the role of this emerging field in cancer research.
The module covers the science behind genomics, including scientific concepts and examples of how genomic technology is currently being incorporated into clinical research. To help bring this information to life, the module also includes basic definitions, diagrams, and graphics – all in an effort to de-mystify the science and technology. And to help ensure that the module resonates with the community, the Research Advocacy Network conducted a focus group with several SPORE advocates last July during a SPORE meeting.
Ultimately, the goal of this program is to enable advocates to learn about genomics and to then share that information within their own organizations and constituencies. Later this year and into 2007, the Research Advocacy Network will conduct in-person training sessions on the module for advocates who are interested in hands-on experience with the information. For details on the roll-out of this genomics training module, check back at the Research Advocacy Network's Web site www.researchadvocacy.org. If you are interested in scheduling a training session, please contact Elda Railey (click to email Elda Railey).
