Description:	NIH Wednesday Afternoon Lecture The NIH Precision Medicine Initiative intends to build bridges from genome medicine to data science by reaching over 1 million Americans. Yet it is far from certain that under-represented populations will actively engage PMI and other NIH discovery science opportunities. We have known for some time that a lack of inclusion of under-represented populations in biomedical research contributes to inequities in health. Thus, any persistent lack of participation in regards to the bold promises of PMI could exacerbate health disparities as we enter the new age of genome science and digital technology. Dr. Ofili will present new data on how and why traditionally under-represented patients and minority research participants may or may not choose to actively participate in scientific discovery. Her technology innovation is at the intersection of patient engagement, health systems, and the community, three stakeholder pillars that are relevant to precision medicine and discovery science. Moreover, her research underscores the opportunity to effectively engage an increasingly diverse and mobile America in a new biomedical research landscape beyond the walls of the academic health system, to the communities where participants live, work, worship, and play.
