How to create a UKB-RAP account

To access the UK Biobank Research Analysis Platform (UKB-RAP) you must have an approved UK Biobank Access Management System (AMS) account, and you must be listed as a collaborator in an AMS application that is approved for UKB-RAP.

Registration is a two-step process. You must first create a UKB-RAP user account, and then you must link it to your AMS account.

If your organisation has been set up for Single Sign On (SSO), follow internal procedures specific to your organisation. Otherwise:

• If you already have a DNAnexus account, you do not need to create a separate Research Analysis Platform account. You can use your existing DNAnexus account credentials on the UKB-RAP.
• If you do not already have a DNAnexus account, visit the UKB-RAP landing page and select "Create an account". You will need to provide your full name and email, as well as a username and password that you want to use.

For information on how to link a UKB-RAP account to an AMS account, see How do I connect my UK Biobank AMS account to UKB-RAP?

Please note that it will not be possible to dispense UKB data to a project in UKB-RAP until the status of the AMS application has been changed from "Approved" to "Underway".   

AMS applications that are "Approved" in principle may still be waiting for payment, for training or for MTA signatures. See Why does it say that my project is not enabled for UKB-RAP? for more details.
