IGNITE GDP

A group portrait of IGNITE GDP principal investigators and key personnel.

IGNITE Genomic Demonstration Projects (IGNITE GDP) began as an NIH-funded network dedicated to supporting the implementation of genomics in healthcare. The network was originally comprised of six research sites, a coordinating center, a steering committee, and working and interest groups. As the network has evolved, an updated structure has been implemented.

Starting in 2013, NIH selected six genomic medicine research sites for 4 years of funding. These research sites were tasked with finding ways to incorporate genomic information into electronic medical records and develop clinical decision support for providers across broad healthcare settings.
