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 prompts researchers to consider both what types of diversity are needed and why, and how aims can be achieved through choices made throughout the data life cycle.
