The Data Quartet Challenge: Insights from Multi-Cohort Aggregation of Quebec Alzheimer’s & Aging Datasets
The Data Quartet Challenge: Insights from Multi-Cohort Aggregation of Quebec Alzheimer’s & Aging Datasets is launched to recognize students’ contributions to innovative analysis projects using data from a minimum of two FRQ-supported Quebec Cohorts on Alzheimer’s & Aging. Through this challenge, we seek to increase awareness within the scientific community about the extensive datasets on Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease available across Quebec. We aim to encourage their integration, harmonization, and broader utilization.
