2.5 Requesting a Project

A Project is a data storage container that holds all of the information, data, and pipeline configurations relating to a Principal Investigators’ research project. Projects in the VRE can only be created by Platform Administrators.

Researchers interested in using the VRE should contact the VRE Support Team at vre-support@charite.de to discuss the application process and next steps. As the Data Controller, the Principal Investigator of each research project is expected to obtain all necessary data-sharing agreements, research ethics approvals, and institutional data protection office endorsements to protect the rights of the data subjects before using the VRE.

After these requirements have been met and the project is approved by the Charité, the VRE administrative team will initiate the Project in the VRE, invite the first Project Member, and grant them the role of Project Administrator. The Project Administrator can then invite additional members of their research team to collaborate in the VRE Project.  

Platform Administrators Only: See Project Creation for additional details on setting up a new Project.
