The Division of Genome Medicine plans, directs and facilitates multi-disciplinary research to identify genetic contributions to human health and to advance approaches for the use of genomic data to improve diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease; through research grants, research training grants, and contracts.

The division also:

• Determines program priorities in genomic medicine and related areas and recommends funding levels.
   
• Assesses needs for research and research training in genomic medicine and related areas.
   
• Prepares reports and analyses to assist Institute staff and advisory groups in carrying out their responsibilities.
   
• Collaborates with the other NHGRI extramural research divisions to establish a balance of resources, personnel, and research and training budgets to achieve NHGRI goals.
   
• Provides expert advice to the director of NHGRI on various aspects of genomic medicine.
   
• Collaborates with the other NHGRI divisions, other National Institutes of Health Institutes and Centers (ICs), and other agencies and entities, national and internationally and maintains an awareness of research efforts in relevant program areas.
