Approximately 100 individuals representing 60 cohort studies and 25 countries attended this first forum in Durham, North Carolina with the goal to enable leaders of large-scale longitudinal cohorts worldwide to share best practices, discuss data sharing, explore standards, discuss common challenges, and explore the potential for a large(r) collaborative sequencing strategy.
