Launched in 2023, Together for CHANGE™ (T4C) is the Diaspora Human Genomics Institute’s flagship initiative aimed at transforming how genomics research is conducted. The program is funded by a coalition of four biopharma companies—Regeneron, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk, and Roche—and supports a landmark study involving half a million participants of African ancestry.

T4C is investing in education by supporting new training and mentorship programs at Meharry Medical College and other partnering historically disadvantaged institutions. These efforts are designed to expand access to genomics for students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), helping build a more informed future workforce.

Why It Matters
T4C is building a new model for genomics research; we aim to make science more useful, trustworthy, and reflective of the communities it serves.
