The National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research (NACHGR) advises the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), on genetics, genomic research, training and programs related to the human genome initiative. NACHGR performs second-level peer review for grant applications, and determines the program priorities for NHGRI and the goals for the government's efforts in the International Human Genome Project (HGP).
NACHGR meets three times a year. The Ethical, Legal and Social Implications (ELSI) Research Advisors (ERA), a working group of NACHGR, provides advice and guidance to NHGRI on the ethical, legal and social implications of genomic research.
On May 3-4, 2012, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), sponsored its third Genomic Medicine Centers meeting - Genomic Medicine Centers Meeting III: Working with Implementation Stakeholders- at the International Ballroom-Hilton Chicago O'Hare Airport, Chicago, Il.

On December 1-2, 2011, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), organized a workshop - Characterizing and Displaying Genetic Variants for Clinical Action Workshop - at the Marriott Washingtonian Center I Gaithersburg, Md. The goal of the workshop was to consider the processes and resources needed to identify clinically relevant genetic variants, to decide whether they are actionable and what the action should be, and to provide this information for clinical use.

September 28, 2011. The Division of Intramural Research at the National Human Genome Research presented a full-day course to help orient researchers to the new technique of exome sequencing. The course introduced participants to the technical basis of the sequencing, approaches to filtering exome sequence results for both inherited and somatic genetic disorders, the use of software tools to analyze data, approaches to clinical annotation of exomes, and informed consent and IRB considerations. The speakers used actual datasets and provided practical real-world examples of projects to illustrate the various approaches one can use to exploit this powerful technology, its strengths and limitations, and the clinical and human subjects implications of the work.
