How do I extend the duration of my project?

If your project has not yet expired, you can request a duration extension of 12, 24 or 36 months.

In order to extend the duration of the project you will need to submit a duration extension change request as detailed in this user guide.

Upon approval of the duration extension request we will distribute new Material Transfer Agreements (if applicable) and also a payment request for the duration extension fee for the Applicant Institute to process.

The cost of the duration extension is calculated based on the length of duration extension requested, the tier of data previously accessed and the number of collaborating institutes named on the project. Further information can be found on the Costs page of our website.

I wish to complete my project, how should I proceed?

If a project requires a short extension to complete, you may submit a duration extension for 12 months. You should specify that you wish to complete your project using data held on-premises in the extension reason. Upon approval of the request, the Access Team will remove your project from the AMS RAP list.

I wish to continue my project on UKB-RAP, how should I proceed?

Before the duration extension of your project can be completed, the project PI and any Lead Collaborators will need to complete all mandatory training modules. Further guidance can be found here on our UK Biobank Community.

All new and updated UK Biobank data is now only accessible for analyses via the Research Analysis Platform (UKB-RAP). UK Biobank Data cannot be downloaded under any circumstances. This policy is notwithstanding any decisions regarding data download exemptions.

A 3-month grace period is provided to help you upload the necessary data into the UKB-RAP. By the end of the 3-month period, the Principal Investigator (PI) and Lead Collaborators must confirm that all UK Biobank data has been deleted from your systems. Please email the Access Team once the transition is complete.
