ABOUT STAR-G

The Screening, Technology And Research in Genetics (STAR-G) Project began as a multi-state collaborative effort, led by the Hawai`i Department of Health, to obtain research data, identify strategies and develop materials for addressing the financial, ethical, legal and social issues (FELSI) surrounding the use of MS/MS for neonatal metabolic screening of culturally and ethnically diverse populations. The project was funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) through a Special Projects of Regional and National Significance (SPRANS) grant
