There were a large number of people involved in the project, some using one approach, while others went about it in alternate ways. One key individual was Craig Ventner, who helped develop a technique that was very fast, inexpensive and fairly accurate.
Countries taking part are; UK, America, China, Japan, France and Germany.
It was set up by Americans though and the genes to be tester were taken from anonymous donors across different racial and ethnic groups.
Also many schools across countries take part and DNA is taken from a variable group of students.

this is the main website for the human genome project. they list the countries that were involved in the summary, and I'm sure more specific information is on the site somewhere
Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D. headed the project.
japan, Australia, European union, china, Korea, U.K, Sweden, U.S, France, there are more
The project began in 1990 and was initially headed by James D. Watson at the U.S. national institutes of health.

Yes, the United States founded the Human Genome Project in the 1990's.
to identify the 3 billion genes that comprise the human genome
The Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Project's purpose is to analyze and map the entire human genome -- that is, to determine all the genes that are involved in human biology. They're doing this to correlate genes to the traits they influence so that the genes (or lack thereof) responsible for disease can be identified.
There are estimated to be 26000 genes after completing the human genome project.
To identify every human gene.<==== nova net answer.
the human genome project helpes many different cancers

James Watson was hired to head the Human Genome project for the NIH. He headed the project from 1988 until 1992.
The Human Genome Project is an international effort to map and sequence all the DNA base pairs of the human genome. It's also an effort to identify the all the genes and the protein/trait that they code for in the human genome. ============================================== The Human Genome Project studies the human chromosomes to determines which genes are involved in what aspects of the human body reproduction, growth, functioning, and health intending to produce a map of the DNA structure, what it does, and how.
The Human Genome Project
Francis Collins is primarily known for his leadership of the Human Genome Project. This project established a definitive outline of the human genome, highlighting the location of all genes on the chromosomes. The project also sequenced the entire human genome, producing a full DNA sequence for a human.
its started in 1990
