Simplified Data Access

At UK LLC, UK based researchers can expect simplified access to linked data for research in the public good. This aims to enable discoveries through linked associations between health, social, behavioural, and economic research.

Our Applications and Data Team work with you throughout to ensure you maximise the opportunity to fulfil the requirements of your research question.

Our Trusted Research Environment (TRE) is a Windows 10 remote desktop environment. After the application process, each approved researcher will be given access to a series of project-specific database views.

We support researchers in using their preferred software packages. The following packages are pre-installed in the Trusted Research Environment: SQL Server Management Studio, Python, R and RStudio, Stata, Jupyter Notebooks, and SPSS. We are also happy to discuss other options with researchers who may prefer to use other software.

UK LLC Guidebook covers all topics related to working in the TRE, including getting started, software available, requesting file outs, asking for an amendment to your project and frequently asked questions.

From start to finish, researchers can expect a high quality service.
