How to Participate in HuGENet™

HuGENet™ is interested in establishing collaborations with individuals and organizations working on population based research involving genetic information.

 

Become a HuGENet™ Collaborator

HuGENet™ collaborators come from multiple disciplines, such as epidemiology, genetics, clinical medicine, policy, public health, education, and biomedical sciences. Examples of contributions and benefits for HuGENet™ collaborators include the following:

  • Receive a monthly newsletter on the latest information relevant to population data on human genes and disease in different populations.
  • Contribute peer-reviewed HuGE reviews to be published on the HuGENet™ Web site and in selected journals (view list of collaborating journals).
  • Become part of the HuGENet™ "Network of Networks." Develop or join a network of collaborations and working groups around specific subject areas for conducting research and collaborative reviews of the existing literature.
  • Contribute case studies that can be used for training and information dissemination (view HuGENet™ case studies).
  • Attend and contribute to HuGE workshops in training, methods development and synthesis of the knowledge base on genomics and health.
E-mail the HuGE team at HuGE@cdc.gov for more information on becoming a HuGENet™ collaborator.

 

Start a HuGENet™ Coordinating Center

Currently, there are six HuGENet™ Coordinating Centers:

  1. Office of Public Health Genomics, Atlanta, Georgia
  2. HuGENet UK Coordinating Center, Cambridge, UK
  3. University of Ioannina, Greece
  4. University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada
  5. National Cancer Institute, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences
  6. Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands

 

Write a HuGE Review

A HuGE Review identifies human genetic variations at one or more loci, and describes what is known about the frequency of these variants in different populations, identifies diseases that these variants are associated with and summarizes the magnitude of risks and associated risk factors, and evaluates associated genetic tests. Reviews point to gaps in existing epidemiologic and clinical knowledge, thus stimulating further research in these areas. You may read HuGE reviews.

We invite authors to write reviews in their area of expertise.

Guidelines for writing a HuGE review

HuGENet released the first edition of the HuGENet™ Handbook of Systematic Reviews [PDF 166KB] in March 2006. All new HuGE reviews should follow the guidance in this document. Also, we strongly encourage authors to apply the new Venice interim guidelines [PDF 116KB] for rating the credibility of associations in HuGE reviews. 

Submitting a completed HuGE review

  1. Submit HuGE review directly to the journal of choice for publication.
  2. Authors should comply with the journal's instructions and formatting, and indicate that the article is a HuGE review.
  3. Upon acceptance of the final manuscript, please notify us at HuGE@cdc.gov.

The following journals are collaborating with HuGENet™:
