The National Center for Human Genome Research announces the availability of a handbook, Program on Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Human Genome Research: A Guide for Applications. This handbook is designed to assist ELSI applicants in tailoring their proposals to forms designed for biology researchers. It describes the NIH review process from application preparation through funding and gives advice on avoiding problems previously encountered by applicants. Copies of the handbook may be obtained by contacting Elinor Langfelder at 301/496-7531.
The electronic form of the newsletter may be cited in the following style:

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.
Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
