We provide secure access to linked data from more than 20 UK Longitudinal Population Studies.

We have transitioned from a COVID-19 resource to a general purpose research resource. If you are interested in applying for a COVID-19 research project or general purpose research project, please complete an Expression of Interest (EOI).

Our Trusted Research Environment (TRE) contains more than 325,000 participants from Longitudinal Population Study (LPS) across the four UK nations. This includes some of the earliest LPS established, with decades of self-reported and clinical data. We link LPS data with health, administrative socio-economic, demographic and place-based data.

Teams of accredited researchers access the TRE securely and remotely, enabling them to work together at pace to conduct research for the public good.  

Researchers active in the TRE may request support from the Data Team and are invited to join our online Analyst Group meetings.
