President Barack Obama announced the launch of the National Institutes of Health Precision Medicine Initiative® (PMI) in January 2015. Precision medicine includes the concept of individualized or personalized medicine at a more exact level through advances in science and technology, such as genetics and genomics sequencing. Although many disease processes will be investigated through the precision medicine lens for greater understanding and improved treatment responses, oncology research and translation to practice is leading the initiative's debut, referred to as the near-term focus.
2015年1月，巴拉克·奥巴马总统宣布启动美国国立卫生研究院精准医学计划（PMI）。精准医学通过遗传学和基因组测序等科学技术的进步，在更精确的层面纳入了个体化或个性化医疗的概念。尽管将通过精准医学视角研究许多疾病过程，以加深理解并改善治疗反应，但肿瘤学研究及其向实践的转化正引领着该计划的首次亮相，即近期重点。
