How can we help?
At LifeCourse, we're dedicated to advancing life span health through collaboration and maximising the real-world impact of existing cohort data. Our metadata catalogue and data access request system are publicly accessible. Most cohorts on our platform provide data access at no charge, with exceptions noted in their study overview.
We make details of our approach to mapping data and managing access requests openly available. We encourage other groups to utilise our system format with acknowledgment of LifeCourse's role in informing their design (suggested citation below).
Additionally, we offer consultation services to assist in:
- implementing best practice in cohort data management and open science practices
- the conduct of longitudinal cohort studies
- effective approaches to cross-cohort collaboration
For more information on how we can support your needs, contact us on one of the channels above.
