Conference Report: NHGRI Research Training and Career Development Annual Meeting

Abstract

Training programs supported by the Instituteare located throughout the USA and provide funding to trainees from the undergraduate to the postdoctoral and junior faculty levels. The annual training meeting provides trainees with a novel opportunity to network, learn about a wide range of genomic research andgain skills and information to support their educational and career path in genomic research. The pandemic forced a transition to virtual meetings in 2020 and 2021, but the 2022 meeting was convened as a hybrid format, with 383 attendees (59% in-person) in Durham, NC, USA.
