Abstract
In 2020, a group of nurse leaders formed the Canadian Nursing and Genomics (CNG) Steering Group with a mission to accelerate the ​integration of genomics-informed nursing through knowledge mobilization, collaborative partnerships, and strategic planning. Our research ​team has engaged with leaders in genomics and nursing internationally and across Canada to develop strategic directions for advancing ​genomics-informed nursing. The resources within this toolkit have been curated from sources informed by international subject matter experts. This project was funded through a ​Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Planning and Dissemination Grant.

Abstract
This study informs Canadian policy development for genomics-informed oncology nursing education and practice. The experiences of other countries demonstrate that change is incremental, and investment from strong advocates and collaborators can accelerate the integration of genomics into nursing. Though this research focuses on oncology nursing, it may also inform other nursing practice contexts influenced by genomics. This research was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Policy Catalyst Grant (competition number: 202210P03).
