Since the initiation of the genome program, the NIH National Center for Human Genome Research has operated with two advisory bodies. They were (1) the Program Advisory Committee on the Human Genome (PAC or PACHG), which focused on strategic planning, and (2) the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research (NACHGR), which was charged with reviewing grants and making funding recommendations. To achieve closer coordination of these increasingly interrelated functions, the two committees will merge into NACHGR. NACHGR, which meets in January, May, and September, will continue to have working groups and subcommittees as needed.
To facilitate interaction between NIH and DOE, a proposed charter amending NACHGR calls for a joint coordinating committee composed of members of NACHGR and the DOE Health and Environmental Research Advisory Committee.

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.
