Info
titleWhere is is the Research Registry, and what is it for?

The Research Registry is a space for researchers to register the research projects they are currently working on, browse and search current research projects, and find contact details for projects leads.

If you want to export results out of the Research Environment for publication, you must have an approved research project on the registry.

You can access the Research Registry by logging into the Research Environment and clicking the Research Registry icon on the desktop.

Watch a tutorial video about the Research Registry on our Research Environment Demo Videos page.

Why do I need to register a project?

...

  1. To promote collaboration and to reduce duplication of effort within the Research Environment: Registering a project will allow researchers within your domain and throughout all of GeCIP and the Discovery Forum to be aware of the work that is carried out within the Research Environment. To provide a mechanism to enact the Publication Moratorium: Disease-facing domains have a protected time period for analysis and publication on participant data pertaining to their domain in recognition of the efforts of the domain members who have assisted in recruiting participants to the project.
  2. To provide a mechanism to assess adherence to the Genomics England Publication Policy: Authorship and co-authorship of any publication or output should be defined in accordance with the guidelines issued by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and outlined in the Genomics England Publication Policy. Note that a registered research project should comprise research aimed to result in a publication, such as a journal article, or a piece of work within a student thesis. Hence, multiple projects can be registered within a single domain. For a full definition of a project see here.
  3. To assess that the proposed research adheres to acceptable uses of data for which the Access Review Committee has granted data access approval: Genomics England will be able to review whether a proposed research project falls within the scope of the detailed research plan submitted by the domain and as such that no additional data access requests need to be considered.
  4. To allow export of analysis results: The Research Registry provides a page for collaborative development of a manuscript within the Research Environment. Use of this page to prepare a manuscript is not compulsory; manuscripts can be written outside the Research Environment. However, the Airlock Review Team will be reviewing requests for export of analysis results and manuscripts against the Research Registry information, so your project still needs to be registered. Manuscripts and analysis results will be allowed to leave the Research Environment only if they adhere to the criteria outlined above (i.e. if they abide by the Publication Policy, relevant Acceptable Uses of Data and the Publication Moratorium).
  5. To provide a mechanism to enact the Publication Moratorium: Disease-facing domains have a protected time period for analysis and publication on participant data pertaining to their domain in recognition of the efforts of the domain members who have assisted in recruiting participants to the project.
Note

You must register your research at least 3 months before submitting an Airlock request to take you results out of the Research Environment. If this is not possible, please contact us on [email protected].

...

Please note, you can use genomes protected under another domain's moratorium as controls or to investigate a disease unrelated to the domain they fall within.

How to register your project

Navigate to the Research Registry Project Submission Form page. Log into the Research Environment. Click "Research Registry" then the subpage "Research Registry Project Submission Form" on the side menu.

A member of the GeCIP team at Genomics England will review your project, and change the status to "UNDER REVIEW", and ensure the project is in line with your domain or company's ARC-approved research plan. You will receive a notification when it has been approved by Genomics England and the status of your project will change to 'APPROVED'.

If you have any queries, or if you want to edit or change the status of your project (e.g. to "publication under review"), please contact [email protected].

titleHow to complete the registration form
  • Date
  • Project title
  • Project lead
    • You can search for and add a project lead. You will only be able to find profiles for GeCIP members who have accounts and have completed their Information Governance training. Those who haven't can be added as external contributors below.
  • Co-researchers
    • You should include all researchers who are expected to be authors on any publication resulting from this project as co-researchers. For GeCIP members who have received account details for the Research Environment, you will be able to add them by searching for their name.
    • If anyone working on the project does not have an account for the Research Environment (yet), or hasn't completed their Information Governance training, you will not be able to find them by searching for their name. Instead you can add them as ‘external contributors’ on the page after you have selected co-researchers; you will need their full name and email address in order to do this.
  • External collaborators
    • (warning)You should include all researchers who are expected to be authors on any publication resulting from this project as co-researchers. For GeCIP members who have received account details for the Research Environment, you will be able to add them by searching for their name. If anyone working on the project does not have an account for the Research Environment (yet), you can add them as ‘external contributors’ on the page after you have selected co-researchers; you will need their full name and email address in order to do this.
  • Project contact email
    • Please provide the email any queries about the project or requests to join should be sent to
  • Project Type
    • Please provide whether you are registering a project as a GeCIP member, Discovery Forum member or member of staff at Genomics England. You may wish to select multiple Project Types if you are working on a collaboration between these.
  • Research area
  • Rare disease group (if applicable)
  • Rare disease subgroup (if applicable)
  • Cancer type (if applicable)
  • Cancer subtype (if applicable)
  • Funding

  • Name of funder

    • If you are applying for funding or have received funding for your project, you should state this here. This will be used to determine who owns the intellectual property for your project.

  • Abstract and lay summary

    • You must provide an abstract and lay summary of your project. These will be visible to anyone looking at the Research Registry. The lay summary may be used to describe your project on the Genomics England public website, if permission is granted by the project lead, and should be understandable by patients and the general public

  • GeCIP domains (you can select multiple domains)

    • Please list the domains you are interested in researching data from.
    • You will need to select the GeCIP domain(s) that the project pertains to. You should be a member of this domain.
    • If your project is part of more than one domain, you can add addition domains in the ‘Other GeCIP Domain(s)’ section. You can select multiple domains by holding CTRL/CMD and clicking the domain name.

  • Related project

    • If any related projects have been submitted to the Research Registry, please provide their Registry ID

  • Are any of the genomes that you want to use currently under moratorium?

    • You should check in the 'domain_assignment' table in LabKey to see which genomes are under moratorium

Check the box to accept that Genomics England reserves the right to refuse this project.

When you are ready, click “Register”.

The status of your project will be 'blank’.

A member of the GeCIP team at Genomics England will review your project, and change the status to "UNDER REVIEW", and ensure the project is in line with your domain or company's ARC-approved research plan. You will receive a notification when it has been approved by Genomics England and the status of your project will change to 'APPROVED'.

If you have any queries, or if you want to edit or change the status of your project (e.g. to "publication under review"), please contact [email protected].

How do I review the status of a project?

A list of all current and completed research projects is available within the Research Registry and can be reviewed by all researchers accessing the Research Environment. To view the Research Registry, log in to the Research Environment and click the icon "Research Registry".
