What is your Research Question
Can we enable research by producing and maintaining an up-to-date tool that summarises the tissue, longitudinal study data, archives and samples (‘resources’) in all viable UK collections and data harmonisation repositories? The combination of resources across multiple and complementary data/participant/sample sets can lead to substantial research contributions. The research resource landscape in the UK today ranges from the “macro” to the ”micro”, but where viable1, these different collections can be complementary in efforts to dissect important research questions. Learning from the experiences light touch, dynamic and responsive consortia, we seek to provide a shop window for resources which is comprehensive, automatically updated and facilitates impactful research.
