Making a difference

Through strategic investment in coordination, advocacy, data discovery, access, linkage, and capacity-building, we are creating a connected research ecosystem. This strengthens existing infrastructure, improves access to longitudinal data, and maximises its impact.

We are bringing together valuable longitudinal studies to benefit participants, researchers, and a wider stakeholder community.
