AI Initiative

Supported by Ambry Genetics and Amazon Web Services (AWS)

ASHG’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) Initiative is a multi-part effort designed to promote and advance the responsible, effective use of AI across human genetics and genomics. Through this Initiative, ASHG will address the technical and ethical considerations of using AI in human genetics and genomics and create an actionable framework for how the human genetics and genomics community can harness AI and maximize its potential. This framework will provide recommendations for governance, standards, and ongoing education to enhance benefits for researchers, clinicians, and patients.

Travel Awards

Supported by Illumina Corporate Foundation for 2026

Travel Awards help exceptional scientists from around the world attend the ASHG Annual Meeting. Sponsorship enables emerging genetics and genomics researchers to share their work, build international collaborations, and engage with the global scientific community. In return, your organization gains visibility as a champion of scientific exchange, workforce development, and the advancement of human genetics worldwide.

Genomics and Public Service Fellowship Program

In Partnership with NHGRI

The Post-Baccalaureate Genomics Analyst Fellowship provides recent undergraduates exposure to and training in multiple career paths within human genetics and genomics. Fellows work either with NHGRI in the extramural research program or with ASHG, exploring how our work advances genetics and genomics research, literacy, public policy, and workforce development.

Educational Programming Sponsors

A cornerstone of ASHG membership value is our ability to create virtual programming on the latest subjects on an ongoing basis and free or low cost to members.

Virtual Symposia

Virtual Symposia programming features a blend of cutting-edge abstract presentations and keynote talks from leaders in the field. Recent programs have explored high-interest topics such as artificial intelligence in genomics and cancer genomics, attracting researchers eager to learn about emerging discoveries and innovations. As a sponsor, your organization is positioned alongside trusted scientific content while delivering meaningful visibility to a targeted genetics and genomics community.

Journal Clubs

Monthly Journal Clubs attract a dedicated audience of human genetics and genomics professionals interested in hearing the latest research published in The American Journal of Human Genetics (AJHG) and Human Genetics and Genomics Advances (HGG Advances). These interactive sessions feature article authors and journal editors, offering unique opportunities for scientific exchange and thought leadership. Sponsorship provides consistent visibility alongside trusted content while connecting your brand with an engaged community of researchers and trainees.
