How to use the Community

The UK Biobank Community has been created to support everyone using UK Biobank data and the UKB-RAP.

It provides a single location for you to access training resources, stay up to date with announcements, explore the UK Biobank GitHub, and collaborate with other researchers.

Here you can search through articles written by the UK Biobank team, or browse discussions in the forum to learn more about how to make the most of working with UK Biobank data. If you have a query you cannot find an answer for, then submit a new question to the forum where other users and subject matter experts can support you.

Please note: the Community forum is intended for peer-to-peer support, and requests here won’t necessarily be answered by the UK Biobank team. If you have a specific requirement that can only be answered by UK Biobank, please submit a request using the button at the top of this page. Please make sure you read our Community guidelines before posting in the forum.
