Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Genomics and Precision Public Health (TIDIR-GPPH) Facilitated Course
From the website: "The Training Institute for Dissemination and Implementation Research in Genomics and Precision Public Health (TIDIR-GPPH) Facilitated Course is being offered in 2024 and is open to all current ORISE fellows and mentors! The course is intended to provide participants with a thorough grounding in conducting dissemination and implementation (D&I) research with a specific focus on genomics and precision public health. TIDIR-GPPH will be a hybrid course including training through open access modules with assigned reading material and office hours and culminating with a 2-day in-person event (September 5-6, 2024)."
Precision public health in the era of genomics and big data
From the abstract: "Precision public health (PPH) considers the interplay between genetics, lifestyle and the environment to improve disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment on a population level—thereby delivering the right interventions to the right populations at the right time. In this Review, we explore the concept of PPH as the next generation of public health. We discuss the historical context of using individual-level data in public health interventions and examine recent advancements in how data from human and pathogen genomics and social, behavioral and environmental research, as well as artificial intelligence, have transformed public health.

Population Screening for Hereditary Hemochromatosis
Video Webinar, UNC Precision Public Health Network,
From the website: " Current data suggest that 1 in 300 non-Hispanic White individuals in the United States carry a genetic variation in the HFE gene (C282Y homozygosity) that accounts for most cases of hereditary hemochromatosis (HH). This variation can lead to iron overload and life-threatening complications, such as severe liver disease. However, complications are preventable with early diagnosis and periodic phlebotomies to remove excess iron from the body. In this CDC webinar, speakers discussed how knowledge about HH has evolved since the discovery of the HFE gene in 1997, current opportunities for clinical and public health action to prevent disease, and future research priorities to advance case detection and reduce clinical complications from HH.
