How We Work
Functional Groups
G2MC Flagship Projects
G2MC currently has two flagship projects that are overseen by the Member Projects Working Group.
Flagship Project - Family Health History
- Assist champion healthcare providers in determining local and country-wide family health history needs and capabilities.
- Identify various methods for obtaining family health history data which best fit local needs and capabilities.
- Adopt data standards for wide-scale data input and sharing.
- Investigate available risk assessment algorithms to determine best clinical application.
- Combine family health history with clinical, genomic, and environmental data to create new knowledge for patient care.
Flagship Project - Rare Genetic Disorders
- Based on results from the funded six-site pilot project, develop and implement the project to include more LMIC sites from around the world.
- Evaluate clinical outcomes, provider and patient satisfaction, ethical, social and legal implications, and cost-effectiveness of the intervention.
- Train local clinicians in genomic medicine in the genetic evaluation, result interpretation, and pre and post-test counseling.
GGMC Functional Groups
G2MC’s parent organization, the Global Genomic Medicine Collaborative (GGMC), has the following functional groups that operate across all of GGMC’s programs.
Resource Center Working Group
Developing and maintaining the GGMC Resource Center as a central platform for genomic medicine research and implementation resources and tools.
Member Projects Working Group
Facilitating collaborations in genomic medicine research and implementation by connecting members with each other and with external partners to develop and support projects.
Conference Planning Working Group (Ad-Hoc)
Supporting the scientific organization of conferences and convenings.
Workforce & Training Core Committee
Training the next generation of genomic medicine professionals through the development of a mentorship program, educational webinars, and other programs and activities generating leadership skills in the field of genomic medicine.
Policy & Advocacy Core Committee
Analyzing, advocating for, and sharing global policies that support the implementation of genomic medicine.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Core Committee
Fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for genomic medicine professionals from diverse backgrounds and demographics to excel, become leaders within the GGMC organization and its consortia, and be represented across all projects and working groups.
Previous Working Groups
G2MC was originally made up of three Working Groups: Education, Evidence, and Policy. Each group made significant contributions to G2MC, leading to the success and growth of the organization. In 2022, as part of the G2MC Strategic Planning process and as a result of the organization’s continued growth, these groups were dissolved in order to leverage their contributions at a higher level across the parent organization, the Global Genomic Medicine Collaborative.
