This survey builds on our Spring 2025 engagement with UK Biobank researchers, broadening the scope to identify new priorities and gather insights from a wider research community, including those not currently using UK Biobank. We are interested to understand the data that you are already using, and also which new and emerging datasets you are interested to see added to UK Biobank.
