Through our center activities we propose to develop an effective and culturally tailored framework for participant engagement of Hispanic patients for genomic studies that leverages on our expertise conducting studies in this community, our strong genomics platform, our successful community outreach initiatives, and through our extensive experience delivering care for one of the largest Hispanic populations in the country.
