Submission Procedure
If you would like access to data or samples from the Department Of Twin Research & Genetic Epidemiology or are interested in proposing a collaboration with us, please first follow the link DTR Policy Document for data access which will give you the necessary background information.
You will then need to complete "Appendix 1 - Data Access Proposal Form" and email the completed form to the Data Access Coordinator Victoria Vazquez or fax to +44 (0)20 7188 6718 for consideration by the Department of Twin Research Steering Committee.
The proposal should specify the data and/or samples required clearly. Individual variables need to be listed with an appropriate justification describing the aims/hypothesis of the project for which the data is requested.
Important: Please ensure that any data request to the DTR includes all phenotypes that you will require for your research as well as potential confounders for the analysis. Any subsequent request for additional data after the initial application has been processed will require you to submit a new Data Access Proposal Form.
