This meeting aims to build upon what has been discussed in the first half of the workshop series. It will provide the needed space to brainstorm over the many issues and opportunities that have arisen during the last five months. The workshop will provide two brainstorming sessions, with facilitators providing guide questions. The first session divides participants into two rooms. In the first room, participants can join the discussion on finalizing the target audience, structure, and content of the tissue sampling best practice manual and delineate a production timeline. In the second room, participants can discuss issues related to haplotype nomenclature, standardization of protocols, and the identification of mechanisms to create and maintain a repository for regional haplotype data. In the second session, the participants will be divided into three groups and will have the opportunity to delve into some of the other topics and questions that have come out during the workshops including collaborative projects and manuscript ideas, grant and graduate opportunities, and resource sharing.

Duration: 135 minutes
