Overview
The Center for Genomics and Healthcare Equality (CGHE), was funded in 2004 as one of the National Human Genomic Research Institute (NHGRI) established Centers for Excellence in ELSI research. These centers focus on the ethical, social, and legal implications resulting from the advances in genomic research.

History and Funding
The NHGRI is publicly funded. In support of moving to a translational model, the NHGRI published their funding mechanisms for ELSI research.

CORE Goals
CGHE has several cores all working to address different lenses of health disparities, genomic research, and outreach education. The Partnership core seeks to elucidate the essence of ethical and effect partnerships. The Genome Sciences core creates the interactive bridge between genome sciences and policy development through an ethical lens. The Healthcare Decision-making core is focused on developing resources to assist integration of genomic technology into healthcare delivery models with attention to equity of distribution. The Indigenous Genomics Alliance core engages community members in debate around values and research ethics specific to indigenous communities.
