The momentum is building. Come with us.
Join the global effort to advance understanding and translation of sex and gender differences in neurodegeneration.
Your expertise belongs here
Researchers are doing the work. The data exists. What the field needs now are the right minds working together. S|GN is positioned to deliver the infrastructure to make it possible. Join us.
Benefits of joining
Contribution
Your data and expertise will directly shape what is poised to be the world’s largest harmonized dataset to date of participants with sex-specific and cognitive measures to interrogate sex differences in ADRD. Your contributions will directly support a resource large enough to answer questions no single cohort can. What you bring in expands what everyone can do.
Access
Consortium members get first access to each new version of the dataset before it is released to the broader research community. Early access means earlier insight into where the field stands and where your own research can go next.
Publication
First access to S|GN’s data means faster pathways to publication, broader cross-study citation potential, and a growing evidence base behind every finding.
Precompetitive collaboration
S|GN's infrastructure includes a precompetitive environment where researchers from the public and private sectors can work on shared problems without competitive risk. It is a rare kind of access to a rare kind of network.
Field influence
Consortium members can help shape what comes next, including working group direction, priority questions, and what the field builds toward.
Catalyze progress across the field
The problem is documented. The researchers are ready. S|GN is positioned to deliver the infrastructure the field needs to capitalize on a coordinated global effort. We want your support.
Benefits of joining
Capital efficiency
Funding S|GN is funding the infrastructure that amplifies every study in the consortium. S|GN is building the largest harmonized sex-specific dataset in the field — a resource no single funder could produce alone, and no single grant could sustain.
Field intelligence
As a funder, you gain early visibility into dataset developments, emerging findings, and where the field's gaps remain. That intelligence informs where coordinated investment will have the greatest impact for ADRD research.
Field influence
S|GN is defining how sex and gender get integrated into neurodegeneration research. Funders who support the infrastructure now help determine what gets built, what gets prioritized, and where the field goes next.
Accelerate discovery through cross-sector collaboration
Progress happens faster when sectors build on each other. S|GN is the coordinated global effort bringing the right partners to the same table. We want you there.
Benefits of joining
Field influence
Consortium partners gain a clear, continuously updated view of where sex and gender research in neurodegeneration stands. This includes where the evidence is strong, where the gaps are, and where innovation is most likely to have impact. That intelligence informs better R&D decisions earlier.
R&D efficiency
As a partner, you gain access to the largest harmonized sex-specific dataset in the field — a resource no single company or sector could produce alone. This could reduce foundational infrastructure your team would otherwise need to build independently.
Precompetitive collaboration
S|GN's infrastructure is designed for cross-sector work, including a “safe sandbox” for partners from both the private and public sectors to collaborate. This allows for data sharing that can advance the field without compromising what's proprietary.
