    The Department of Health and Human Services, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has issued a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) under the title "Population Genomic Screening in Primary Care Cooperative Agreement" (RFA-HG-24-021) aimed at generating evidence through pilot programs for genomic screening in primary care settings. The funding, totaling $3.85 million over five years, seeks to establish a network of 4-5 Clinical Groups (CGs) that will engage primary care providers to implement screening for 4-7 genomic conditions recognized as actionable by the CDC, addressing disparities in healthcare access. Key objectives for the CGs include screening 5,000 diverse patients with an emphasis on health disparity populations, employing comprehensive community engagement strategies, and ensuring data sharing and follow-up. This initiative is designed to build infrastructure for equitable genomic screening, improve understanding of implementation processes, and create frameworks for best practices. The project emphasizes the incorporation of patient feedback and involvement throughout, aligning with NIH policies for genomic data sharing and clinical trial registration. Overall, this NOFO represents a significant federal investment in the field of population genomics, focusing on integrating genomic research into routine primary healthcare practices to enhance preventive care and public health outcomes.
