This website was made
possible by a five-year contract funded by
the National Human Genome Research Institute
(NHGRI), the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD),
and the Health Services and Resources Administration
to provide genetics education and resources
to health professionals. Additional funding
was provided by the National Institute of
Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR).
NCHPEG is grateful to the advisory committee
members, who shared their time and expertise
in the development of the content for the
site. Committee members are: Karina Boehm,
MPH (NIDCR), Sue Sauer Collins, RDH, PhD (American
Dental Hygienists Association, ADHA)*, Tom
Hart, DDS, PhD (University of Pittsburg)**,
Jean Jenkins, PhD, RN, FAAN (NHGRI), and Ron
Katz, DMD, PhD (New York University). Thanks
also are due to the University of Maryland
Schools of Dentistry and Dental Hygiene for
allowing NCHPEG to beta test the website with
faculty and students.
Global Design Interactive was instrumental
in creating the site’s design, custom
animations, and programming. Their work with
NCHPEG staff through content revisions and
alternate navigation strategies significantly
improved the effectiveness of the instruction.
