ELSI efforts long have been troubled by critiques that they privilege scientific frameworks and grant scientists the power to set ethical agendas. As the first director of the Human Genome Project’s (HGP) ELSI program, Eric Juengst, explained in reflections he wrote after leaving the role, the primary goal of the HGP’s ELSI program was to support, not critique, genomics.“The enterprise of genome research and the knowledge generated by it,” Juengst wrote,“were to be treated as ‘unalloyed prima facie goods’”(Juengst 1996, 68). ELSI’s aim was to create the policy tools that would ensure that these goods reached the public in the most efficacious manner. Rather than critically examining the role genomics played in reconstituting the natural and social order, the work of the ELSI program primarily focused on adapting existing ethical practices (eg, informed consent) and legal instruments (eg, patent law) to accommodate the new science. In short, to draw on and extend language that Melissa Creary (2021) powerfully provides, ELSI’s formation was bounded by the narrow goal of facilitating genomics, a form of science it believed to be inherently good.Thus, to date, ELSI has had little capacity to address issues of equity and justice. What then is its future in this moment when science policy organizations and funders are calling for equity-led approaches to science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEM) research? The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) put forward at the end of last year an Equity Action Plan to transform the STEM ecosystem (OSTP 2022). The National Academy of Medicine’s Committee on Emerging Science, Technology, and Innovation (CESTI) recently
