B4-1: An Overview of Kaiser Permanente's Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health.

Background/Aims The Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH) is a large, population-based resource for genetic epidemiology developed by scientists at the Kaiser Permanente (KP) Northern California Division of Research. The goal of this program is to link research data for 500,000 broadly consented health plan members, including longitudinal electronic medical records (EMR), genomic data from biospecimens, and environmental exposure data from surveys and geographic information system (GIS) databases in order to support research on many different health conditions.
