Working Together To Improve Global Health
The International Hundred K+ Cohorts Consortium (IHCC) is a global community of cohorts working together to advance science and improve health for all. It is our mission to forge cohort connections that revolutionize population health science by providing sustainable data infrastructure, cultivating a collaborative research environment, and promoting policies and best practices that foster connectivity, interoperability, and reciprocity.
