A message for researchers: UKB-RAP review findings and next steps Pinned

Thank you for your patience while UK Biobank’s Research Analysis Platform (UKB-RAP) remains closed. The report of the Board-led review of the recent incidents that led to UKB-RAP access being stopped, and of the security of participant data more generally, has now been made publicly available. Access the report. 
 
I do want to assure you that UK Biobank’s Board and Executive are aware of the problems caused to researchers by the inability to access the UKB-RAP. We’re now developing an implementation plan based on the recommendations in the report, with the aim of providing a detailed timetable during June for re-opening access in a phased manner. 
 
Again, as I said in my email to you of 14th May, we will automatically extend compute credits and project duration at no cost to you when your access to the UKB-RAP resumes.
