Researchers need to both share and secure data with great precision. They need to create relationships between their data and different audiences, showing and holding back different aspects of their data with colleagues, collaborators, and the general public.

Collaboration Tools

Complex research projects require cooperation between many players: clinics, labs, specimen repositories, data centers, and others. LabKey Server provides a collaborative research platform with a suite of secure, web-based collaboration tools the help researchers bring all of the pieces together.

File management — Share and manage files using a secure repository
Message boards — Facilitate team discussions about your project.
Issue tracking — Solve multi-step problems requiring input from many team members.
Wiki pages — Document and contextualize your project.
Survey Designer — Design and integrate surveys.
RedCap Integration — Integrate RedCap survey data.
Adjudication Module — Tools for increased diagnosis confidence through independent determinations.
Contacts — When enabled, create a user contacts page.

Access Controls

LabKey Server gives you detailed control over how your data is presented to different audiences, whether the data consists of raw data files, curated data grids, or reports and summaries of the data. You can also specify different kinds of access to your data, allowing different users to edit, read, or submit data.

Data De-Identification

When working with PHI data, you can refine the dataset you want to show, including de-identifying data to help protect PHI information and randomizing absolute date values while preserving their relative values.

Public Access

Providing public access to selected data after publication is simply a matter of changing security settings, making it easy to satisfy NIH data sharing requirements.

Coming Soon: Compliance Module

The upcoming compliance module gives you the ultimate auditing control over your presented data, letting you see who has seen which rows of data, and why.
