External Scientific Panel (ESP)

  • datasets, analysis tools, and other resources for potential users;
  • management of ethics concerns and participant protection practices; and
  • ability to develop and evaluate methods to improve the use of polygenic risk scores to predict disease and health outcomes in diverse ancestry populations.
