The 100,000 Genomes Project dataset contains millions of data points, and limitless opportunities for research and discovery. GeCIP is a community of over 3,000 researchers and it is therefore important we provide a framework for operating on the data and a degree of governance. 

Briefly, each domain must have their research plan approved by the Genomics England's Access Review Committee (ARC). To conduct research on a genome from the 100,000 Genomes Project, a researcher must be either a member of the domain to which that genome has been assigned, or be working in collaboration with that domain in accordance with our Publication Moratorium. This only applies for the first 9 months the genome is present within the Research Environment, after this point the moratorium ends and any GeCIP member can carry out research on this genome. The ARC approval for either of the domains should cover the research project, and that research project should be registered in the Research Registry.

The project's Research Registry entry should be kept up to date as the project progresses and the project should be carried out in a collaborative manner, welcoming new researchers who express an interest and will contribute to the project. All analysis will need to be conducted within the Genomics England Research Environment, and summary analyses will need to be exported from the environment via the Airlock. If a project progresses to publication, the draft article will need to be ratified by Genomics England Publication Committee prior to submission.

Any and all intellectual property resulting from research using the 100,000 Genomes Project dataset will be wholly owned by Genomics England.
