Accessing the data in the EGA
The EGA provides secure access to restricted data for authorised researchers and clinicians. In all cases, data access decisions are made by the appropriate Data Access Committee (DAC) and not by the EGA. Links to contact the relevant DAC are provided on each EGA study page, and you can also view a list of all DACs.
Approved users are issued with a personal EGA account associated with the relevant permissions. A data access agreement made between the DAC and the applicant dictates how data can be used, stored or transferred once it is downloaded from our system. More information about the DACs.
Registered EGA users have access to an online account, accessed through the EGA Homepage. This portal may be used to display the dataset access permissions associated with the account and to download metadata (sample information and sample to file mapping files) for each dataset.
Take the following steps to access data:
- Search and explore the study of your interest (as explained in the previous page)
- Identify the dataset/s you wish to access using the study page
- Identify the Data Access Committee (DAC) and make your application using the dataset page
- Download data from the EGA
