Accessing the Research Analysis Platform

Registering for the Research Analysis Platform

Registration is a two-step process. You must first create a Research Analysis Platform user account, and then you must link it to your UK Biobank Access Management System (AMS) account.

For information about creating your UK Biobank AMS account, look at the Getting Started material in the UKB Community.

Your username and email address on the Research Analysis Platform can be different from those you use on the AMS.

Creating a Research Analysis Platform account

If your organization has been set up for Single Sign On (SSO), follow internal procedures specific to your organization. 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 on the Research Analysis Platform.

• If you do not have an account, visit the Research Analysis Platform homepage 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.

• Please note, on June 24 2025, accounts will be required to have 2 factor authentication.
