• Coordinate the collection and sharing of data to understand, prevent, detect and manage lung health to improve reproducibility and rigour of research results;
• Disseminate, inform and implement high-quality evidence into practice and policy for improved and more equitable health outcomes;
• Strengthen and promote lung health research capacity through interdisciplinary and experiential-based approaches to foster the next generation of lung health researchers;
• Meaningfully integrate equity, diversity and inclusion analyses and considerations within research studies and teams;
