KU Leuven researcher requests access to external genetic/genomic datasets in repositories (EGA, NIHdbGAP)

The KU Leuven researcher submits an application to the third party from whom they wish to receive data.

The researcher receives a Data Transfer Agreement and/or contracts and provides them to the relevant supporting service.

The KU Leuven researcher must take the necessary steps with the relevant body. For KU Leuven, this involves PRET, for UZ Leuven, this involves EC Research .

DAC (Data Access Committee) can provide advice upon request from PRET/SMEC or EC Research, and data can only be shared after review and valid signing of the contract negotiated between the involved legal service of UZ/KU Leuven and the third party.
