Scope and Contents

Documents on the collaboration between the National Human Genome Center at Howard University (NHGC) and the HapMap Project. This includes a letter from the founding director Georgia Dunston to Francis Collins accepting the collaboration as long as it filled the required guidelines such as funding the first phase of GRAD simultaneous with the Human HapMap Project. There is an e-mail from Georgia originally rejecting the collaborating with NHGRI because they needed to focus all of their efforts on the GRAD project. Additional correspondence between Francis Collins and Georgia Dunston regards to the cite where cell lines and DNA would be stored for samples to be collected, specifically for HapMap.
