Based on the history of excellence in genetic counseling research at both JHU and the NIH IRP, it is valuable to jointly cooperate in the training of masters? level and doctoral level students in genetic counseling which it is hoped will lead to better collaborative interactions and joint scientific research between the faculty and scientists from these institutions.
