linking, and sharing exposome data for AD\/ADRD researchers across disciplines, with a focus on six key, interconnected domains:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <ul class=\"list domains-list\">\n

goals and outputs, all domains advance AD\/ADRD exposome research in their fields by inclusively and transparently establishing consensus on high priority research topics, developing standards for data collection, and carrying out novel data collection for key exposome measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Our Consensus-Building Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure
