Standard Research Grant: A longitudinal study of the role of expert knowledge in the interpretation and reception of genetic information

在这个项目中，一个跨学科和学科内的研究团队将使用多种实地数据收集方法，包括统计学，基因组学和人种学方法，以记录专家在解释和接收有关人类遗传变异的信息方面的作用。将对来自三个年龄组（年轻[18至30岁]，中间[31-50岁]和老年[51至70+]成人）的300名研究参与者进行DNA采样，每个年龄组由女性和男性平等代表。该项目的结果将通过公共互动展览和附带的网站与参与者和公众分享。

For this project, a cross-disciplinary and intra-disciplinary research team will use multiple field data collection methods including statistical, genomic, and ethnographic methods to document the role of experts in the interpretation and reception of information about human genetic variation to members of the public. DNA sampling will be conducted for 300 study participants from three age cohorts (young [18 to 30 years], intermediate [31-50 years], and older [51 to 70+] adults) with each cohort equally represented by females and males.The results of the project will be shared with participants and the public through a public interactive exhibit and accompanying website.
