The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recognizes an urgent need for educator resources on cutting edge scientific topics due to increased public interest in genetics and genomics. We developed a Short Course in Genomics ("Short Course") to inspire new teaching materials through collaborative course development sessions and lectures, to expand access to cutting edge scientific information, and to provide a framework to consider when crafting new coursework related to scientific education.
