Researcher roles FAQs¶

Can I register my colleague for data access?

I want to add a colleague to my research project.

Your colleague must be a member of the Research Network in order to access the 100,000 Genomes Project data and collaborate on your project.

Membership of Research Network is open to any individual, student or member of staff, who is affiliated with:

UK academic research institutions (e.g. universities, research institutions etc.)
NHS trusts or authorities
UK and foreign charitable organisations directly related to the focus of the 100,000 Genomes Project
Foreign universities and research institutions that carry out significant research activity
UK and foreign governmental departments that carry out significant research activity (eg. MRC, NIH, PHE)
Foreign healthcare organisations (private or public) that undertake significant research activity

To apply to become a member, they should complete the application form found on the Research section of the Genomics England website.

My colleague is also a member of the Research Network but they haven't received their account details yet. Why?

In order to be eligible for data access, you must meet the following three requirements:

Your institution has signed the Participation Agreement.
Your institution has verified you are affiliated with them.
Your domain has had their detailed research plan approved by the Access Review Committee

If you meet all three requirements, you are eligible for an account and should be sent your details shortly. If you think there is a problem, you should submit a ticket to the Genomics England Service Desk.
