We build technical standards and policy frameworks and tools that will expand responsible, voluntary, and secure use of genomic and other related health data. GA4GH aims to accelerate progress in human health by establishing a shared global approach to responsible, broad, and democratised use of genomic and related health data. For more information [visit the Global Alliance for Genomics and Health website ](https://www.ga4gh.org/) **Focus Areas and Topics** [[Health]] **Projects and Programs** GA4GH Work Streams - https://www.ga4gh.org/how-we-work/workstreams/ - develop standards and tools that are founded on the Framework for Responsible Sharing of Genomic and Health-Related Data. Their work is designed to enable international genomic data sharing based on the specific needs of clinical and research Driver Projects � https://www.ga4gh.org/how-we-work/driver-projects/ - real-world genomic data initiatives sourced from around the globe.
