The Data Collection and Standards Workgroup is responsible for defining and monitoring the operational goals of the project, including the scope of data collection, data sources and requirements for shared resources. This group is made up of representatives from each clinical or research laboratory contributing data to the project. This workgroup will be responsible for collecting and synthesizing data from the various stakeholders, communicating these analyses and equivalencies to the Bioinformatics workgroup, and producing the SOPs, guidelines, and policies surrounding the use of the novel variant assessment tool, phenotype cataloguing system, and unified database.
