Research Data Access

Streamlining Access to Crucial Genetic Research Data

Imagine ID facilitates access to a wealth of genetic research data, gathered from our extensive studies in the UK and internationally. This page outlines the process for researchers and healthcare professionals interested in utilising our data to advance their own research objectives. Our commitment is to ensure that data access is managed responsibly and ethically, enhancing the potential for significant scientific discoveries.

Application Process

Researchers wishing to access IMAGINE ID data must submit a detailed application. This should include a clear outline of their research objectives, how they intend to use the data, and any ethical considerations relevant to their study. This process ensures that all research conducted with our data aligns with our goals and maintains the integrity and utility of the information.

Ethical Approval

It is imperative that all research projects using IMAGINE ID data obtain appropriate ethical approval from their respective institutional review boards or ethics committees. This step is crucial for ensuring that all research adheres to the highest ethical standards, protecting the rights and privacy of the participants involved. Only projects with full ethical clearance will be considered for data access.

Data Sharing Agreements

Once a research application is approved and ethical approval is obtained, researchers will need to sign a data sharing agreement. This agreement sets out the terms and conditions under which data can be used, including provisions for data security, confidentiality, and the responsible sharing of data. These agreements help safeguard the data and ensure it is used in a manner that respects participant privacy and the scientific value of the data.
