To accelerate genomic discovery, collaboration, and improved clinical outcomes, research leaders at Boston Children's Hospital (BCH), Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC), and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have come together to propose the creation of the Genomics Research and Innovation Network (GRIN). 

Four major potential uses of the GRIN resource, including:

1) Facilitating cohort expansion - especially valuable in the study of rare disease

2) Creation of a broad knowledgebase for variant interpretation

3) Matching junior investigators to clinical and research expertise

4) Matching investigators to expertise and resources for functional studies and animal models
