Abstract: This document is an agenda for population genomic screening, which aims to identify individuals at risk for diseases and improve population health outcomes. It acknowledges that there are still gaps in our understanding of the clinical utility and implementation of these screening programs. The agenda proposes a research agenda informed by implementation science approaches, which involves integrating genomic screening into primary care, engaging with patients and communities, and evaluating program effectiveness. It emphasizes the importance of implementing genomic screening programs in healthcare systems and highlights the potential benefits and challenges associated with such programs. The document also discusses the need for diverse representation in the genomics workforce and the importance of addressing barriers to the implementation of population genomic screening. Overall, it provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of population genomic screening and offers insights into future directions and considerations for this field.
