UKRI Trusted and Connected Data and Analytics Research Environments - Sprint Launch Call

14:00 –14:45 

If you missed this event, you can now watch the webinar recording. 

This event will launch the UKRI Trusted and Connected Data and Analytics Research Environments (DARE) programme's sprint project competition, providing an opportunity to find out more about the requirements of these sprint projects and how to apply.

Data has been fundamental to the UK’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. As the UK moves out of the critical phase into recovery, there is an opportunity to re-evaluate the investments that have been made in data research infrastructures, and the research use cases across domains, to ensure that they are joined-up, impactful and support research at scale.

UK Research and Innovation has initiated a programme to consult on the requirements for a UK-wide federated, digital infrastructure for data research that has the confidence, and meets the needs of researchers, data controllers, and the public. It will explore approaches for the next generation of trusted research environments that will enable fast and efficient sharing, linkage and advanced analysis of sensitive data in an ethical and secure manner.

About the Sprint Launch Call:

As part of the first phase of this work we will be running a programme of Sprint Exemplar Projects. These projects will provide an exciting opportunity to bid for funding to carry out a process of uncovering and testing early thinking and developing potential use cases, technical proof-of-concepts as well as exploring the governance, ethical and public engagement and involvement aspects of developing a next generation of digital research infrastructure based on trustworthiness, security, and interoperability.

• Funding available: £100K -£400K
• Project timeline: 8 months from December 2021 to July 2022

 

The funding call will support up to ten Sprint Exemplar Projects. Applications are invited in three broad areas:

• Driver use cases that require data from across the research councils.
• Technology demonstrators that improve data discovery, metadata, API development to support federated analytics and data visualisation.
• Establishing best practice for governance, ethics, public engagement and standards.

 

This event will launch this competition and be an opportunity to find out more about the requirements of these sprint projects and how to apply.
