The Center for ELSI Resources and Analysis (CERA)
The Center for ELSI Resources and Analysis (CERA) is a collaboration and dissemination hub for the field of study focused on the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genetics and genomics. It is funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute and managed by teams at Stanford and Columbia Universities in partnership with the Hastings Center and Case Western Reserve University. CERA convenes ELSI scholars, scientists, trainees, policymakers, journalists, and other genomics stakeholders to address emerging, high-priority issues in science, technology, and medicine. It provides the ELSIhub platform; creates curated resource sets and guidance; collaborates with scholarly journals, training programs, and affiliate organizations; and conducts innovative research to enhance the production, sharing, and use of ELSI scholarship.
