The Silvio O. Conte Center,
a multi-institutional effort based at the University of Chicago, will combine the statistical power of pre-existing genetics, pharmacogenomics, text - mining, and clinical record databases to confront diseases that have so far frustrated researchers.
Drawing from a collaborative research project with the community Utqiagvik, Alaska, we detail best practices for social science environmental research programs that operate at the nexus of conservation, community - directed heritage
efforts, community -
based practice, and
multi-institutional partnerships.
