Harmonization Working Group
Purpose
What do we mean by “harmonization?”
Harmonization is more than just taking data and samples after they’ve been collected and doing our best to combine it for analysis. The CEECR Consortium wants to use the same methods for collecting data whenever feasible, aligns with Cohort priorities, and consistent with primary scientific goals.
- Survey data collection
- Sample collection, storage and analysis
- External data linkage
