Upon completion, the department must produce a report with recommendations to improve public awareness and increase access to screenings and genetic testing. The report will also analyze funding strategies and suggest ways to create partnerships between public and private sectors to support future research. All information collected during the study will be protected according to state and federal privacy laws.
