It will focus on working with communities to evaluate, co-design, and implementculturally appropriate engagement strategies and ethical research practices, including relationship-based consent;cultural integration of genomics; and ethical strategies for long-term management and use of biological samplesand data for clinical and research purposes. Expected outcomes of this project are policy recommendations,contributions to national ethics and protocols guidelines, and the evaluation of educational materials and digitallearning tools aimed at improving genomics literacy and research practices.
