Introduction
Both federal and state governments fund genetic care and research. For example, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spent millions of dollars to support the All of Us Research Program and the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN). At the state level, states support newborn screening programs and provide genetic care through Medicaid.
