The EGAPP™ steering committee was established in October 2004 by CDC’s Office of Public Health Genomics (OPHG) to provide a broader perspective on the EGAPP™ Initiative. The steering committee helps to recruit and select members for the EGAPP™ Working Group.

The steering committee members are from CDC and other agencies (e.g., Agency for Healthcare Quality Research, National Institute of Health, Health Resources and Services Administration, Food and Drug Administration, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services). Members are appointed by OPHG.
