Use of Population Descriptors in Human Genetic Research
Exploring the Use of Population Descriptors in Human Genetic Research
This study will explore scientists opinions and practices regarding the use of population descriptors (e.g., race, ethnicity, ancestry, geography and nationality) to describe a research study population. It will collect genetic researchers opinions, understandings and experiences studying human genetics and genetic variation.
Scientists who are a principal investigator or co-principal investigator n a human genetic or genomic study of a common disease with at least preliminary data that uses population descriptors may be eligible for the study.
Participants are asked to think about their study populations and how they are described in their research. They participate in two audio-taped semi-structured interviews that last from about 90 to 120 minutes. They may also participate in one or both of the following optional study components:
- A third semi-structured interview that explores implementing a new method of describing study populations in data analysis.
- 2 to 3 days of lab observation, in which a member of the study research team meets the lab members, observes daily activities and attends lab meetings.

Descrizione
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
The study population is comprised of intramural and extramural principal investigators:
- Conducting human genetic or genomic research on common disease
- Conducting a project in which they use population descriptors to describe their study sample
- Have collected, at a minimum, preliminary data that allows them to complete an exploratory exercise re-conceptualizing their use of population descriptors in this project.
Participation is limited to researchers who have collected data that gives them sufficient background and context to meaningfully complete this exercise. Insight gathered from our study population on alternatives to existing methods of population classification and description used in human genetic research is especially useful not only because of their professional expertise, but because they are the group that would need to implement alternatives.
