• In 2010, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Wellcome Trust in London launched the Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa) initiative, which supports Africa-led genome research. The workshop was initially funded by the US National Science Foundation and the University of Illinois; it is now supported by the NIH. Since its start, SING has trained nearly 150 participants and expanded to New Zealand and Canada. [...]she supervises the genetics laboratory at Turtle Mountain Community College in Belcourt, North Dakota, and collaborates with the tribal-research review board, which vets research protocols and ensures that the tribe is represented appropriately in project publications. [...]of that request, Raff and her colleagues developed another project in which they compared the DNA from Iñupiat ancestors with that of contemporary people to study the population's genetic history4.
