... With the large volumes of genetic and phenotypic data that are planned to be col lected, these efforts could provide a valuable trove of information for identifying and validating potential targets, elucidating underlying disease and mechanistic biology, and developing biomarker assays and targeted therapies. Questions remain about how large cohort studies could be designed, the types of data that should be collected, and which business models could engage stakeholders most effectively.

Participants, who are drawn from multiple sectors and disciplines, are preparing an NAM Discussion Paper that will summarize their perspectives on a process for standards development and on the establishment of a mechanism to facilitate the coordination of an experimen tal approach to align existing standards and improve clinical trial site standards based on continuous data collection.
