This page provides an overview of the key service areas currently available or in development, from data access and methodological advice to legal, ICT, and biobank support. As ACH continues to evolve, new services and connections will be added to further strengthen collaboration, data quality, and research impact across cohorts.
Data Access
ACH is developing a unified framework for accessing cohort data through a single-entry system and shared data catalogue. Researchers will soon be able to explore available datasets and follow harmonized access procedures across cohorts.
Learn more about Data Access on our Data webpage.
