Cohort Consortium Strategic Plan
- Emphasize our core strengths: prospective data, large sample size, some repositories
- Focus on cancers, especially less common and more lethal ones
- Focus on genetic variants, questionnaire variables, and biospecimens that address critical unresolved issues
- Evaluate subgroups
- Avoid duplicating what can be done elsewhere
- Communicate with other consortia tackling related problems
- Improve the ease and speed of the projects we support
- Develop simple flexible tools for intra-project communications
- Facilitate the participation of willing cohorts
- Develop simple tools for data harmonization and collection
