In brief, to share data, you must register your study and the data you intend to share, upload the data to a private workspace in the Synapse data sharing platform, and annotating the data, and releasing the data. Please read the Overview: How to Share Data guide for step by step instructions.
I’ve just added a new person to my research group - how do they get access to modify my Synapse project?
First, they must become a certified Synapse user. This involves:
Linking your ORCID account to your profile (optional, but recommended)
Once they have created an account, you can either add them to your lab “Team” (if you have created one), or we can add them individually. Just provide us (nf-osi@sagebionetworks.org) with links to the project(s) they should be added to, and the new person’s Synapse username.
I haven’t published my findings yet, why do I need to upload my data?
During the embargo period (defined in your Data Sharing Plan and/or funder contract, see Overview: How to Share Data ), data will only be available to your research team, NF-OSI data curation/support staff at Sage Bionetworks, and project manager(s) from the funder of your project. During this embargo period, all data in your Synapse project will have publicly-visible metadata, but the data itself will remain private. This means that portal users can see metadata terms that indicate type of data is being generated by your project, but they cannot download and use the data. In other words: this allows you to privately “stage” your data and report progress to your funders, without fear of others using it before you’ve had an opportunity to publish your findings.
