Criteria of cohort's to be included
Cohorts that recruit 100k participants or more, are disease-agnostic, have available biospecimens, and have longitudinal follow-up activities. Cohorts from under-represented populations and low and middle-income countries (LMICs) may not fit some of these criteria, so exceptions are made to be inclusive as possible.
