Implementation of an impact assessment tool to optimize responsible stewardship of human genomic data the cloud.

Genomic and health data are being generated faster than they can be securely accessed and shared, limiting their potential to drive scientific discovery and improve human health. As large-scale repositories migrate to the cloud, regulatory compliance alone is insufficient to ensure that data-release practices reflect the values of data contributors, producers, and users. A reliable tool is urgently needed to define meaningful stewardship outcomes and track institutional progress through this major infrastructure transition.

A reliable and user friendly tool that defines core stewardship outcomes and tracks institutional progress through infrastructural transitions to the cloud.
