Below are details on the various committees, processes, and documents that govern the working of the Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Partnership (GeCIP).

Committees

GeCIP Board

The GeCIP Board is tasked with overseeing and steering GeCIP. It acts as a focus for co-ordination of GeCIP activities, including aspects of strategy and disease area or funding opportunities and meets twice a year.

It is comprised of:

• representatives from funders (National Institute for Health Research, Wellcome Trust, Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK);
• a representative from the Genomics England Scientific Advisory Committee;
• the Genomics England Chief Scientist, Prof Mark Caulfield;
• a patient representative;
• and a representative from each of the Cancer, Rare Diseases, and Cross-Cutting arms of GeCIP, as decided by the GeCIP Steering Committee.

GeCIP Steering Committee

Chair: Genomics England Chief Scientist, Prof Mark Caulfield

The GeCIP Steering Committee is a subcommittee of the GeCIP Board and is comprised of representatives from each of the different domains. For convenience, it has been split into three separate sub-committees along the lines of Cancer, Rare Diseases, and Cross-Cutting domains. The plan is for these sub committees to meet regularly, and for there to be a single meeting each year where all domain representatives meet as one. It's main activities include:

• evaluating reports and plans from the GeCIP and advise the GeCIP Board on the success, functionality or otherwise of the Domains;
• advising the GeCIP Board on the need to form new Domains;
• advising the domains and the GeCIP Board on tasks or work packages to progress the Genomics England programme in a timely and efficient manner according to the Project Plan and associated milestones;
• overseeing and advising on appropriateness of grant plans, authorship or publication plans and membership of Domain.
