National Coordinating Center of the Regional Genetics
Collaborative:
http://www.nccrcg.org/
In 2004, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources
and Services Administration (MCHB/HRSA), Genetic Services Branch (GSB)
awarded grants to establish seven Genetic Service and Newborn Screening
Regional Collaborative Groups (RCs) and a National Coordinating Center
(NCC) as part of on-going efforts to improve the health of children
and their families by promoting the translation of genetic medicine
into public health and healthcare services. The NCC is formed as a partnership
with GSB/MCHB/HRSA through a cooperative agreement with the American
College of Medical Genetics (ACMG). The NCC is organized around a central
office and an Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee includes the
seven RCs and representatives of national organizations that serve as
resources to the NCC and the RCs.

Region 4 Genetics Collaborative
http://medhomes.region4genetics.org/primer.asp
- intro
The Region 4 Genetics Collaborative provides a forum for
seven states to share available newborn screening and genetic
resources, an advancement that will result in improved geographic
distribution of genetics expertise throughout the region.
The seven state members include Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. The provision of
optimal genetic services to children with heritable disorders
and their families relies on a partnership between public
health programs, screening/diagnostic laboratories, and clinical
providers.
