Abstract:
Calls for more diverse data in genetics studies typically fall short of offering further guidance. Here we summarize a policy framework from the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health designed to fill this gap. The framework highlights that diverse data is always a means to an end, and that appropriate focus on these ends should prompt researchers to consider both what types of diversity are needed and why, and how these ends can be achieved via choices made throughout the data lifecycle.
