Opportunity overview

As Genomics England has expanded the variety of datasets available in the National Genomic Research Library (NGRL), it faces challenges in ensuring researchers are able to understand and use the data on offer. To help define a 'core dataset' to inform prioritisation decisions, Genomics England needs to understand the minimum data needs of researchers. The supplier will provide user research services investigating the data needs of users of Genomics England's Research Environment.
