In 2022, I participated in the important NHGRI Workshop "Future Directions in Genomics & Health Equity Research". The program & accompanying materials were available online. They are now gone. This makes me so sad, especially for our wonderful colleagues at NIH who care about this work deeply.
Screenshot of website from January 19th, 2025 of meeting summary. Event details say "The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) will host a virtual workshop entitled “Future Directions in Genomics and Health Equity Research” on April 6-7. The goal of the workshop is to identify research gaps and opportunities that will help to decrease health disparities and improve health equity in genomics. The workshop will emphasize the scientific value of diversity and inclusion as well as identify and prioritize future research needs in genomics to advance health equity. It will also explore best practices for making genomic data, technology and genomically informed healthcare ethical, representative, accessible and beneficial to all."Screenshot of the same URL today (February 23rd, 2025). It simply says "404 - Page Not Found" and "The link you followed or typed is either incomplete, outdated or we have made a mistake! Please search above or see these helpful links instead"
