How collaborations work
Scoped together, governed from the start
- 1
Initial enquiry
Tell us your organisation, role and research question. Patient data and genomic files are exchanged later, through a secure channel.
- 2
Scoping discussion
Define the question, data inputs, deliverables, roles, governance and timelines together.
- 3
Confidentiality and data governance
A secure channel and the appropriate confidentiality, data-access and consent arrangements are put in place before any sensitive information is exchanged.
- 4
Ethics and approvals
Where applicable, ethics committee approval and an approved protocol govern participation, sample use, consent and eligibility.
- 5
Study conduct and reporting
Work proceeds under the agreed protocol, and publication terms are agreed in advance.
