Create projects on Open Humans

Want to work with Open Humans members? You can get started immediately. It's completely free!

Projects have powerful features that enable you to build a variety of research studies and more.

• Get data access
  Looking for data? Members have a variety of data that they're ready to share! Invite members to share data with you. Data is immediately available via API, and you'll have ongoing access to updated data.

• Work with members
  It's not just data access – it's member access!

  For research you often want to build on data – ask a new question, examine data from a new angle! Projects are able to interact with their members via member ID. You can share a survey, send reminders, and share updates with your members.

• Add new data
  Projects can also be data sources – they can load data into member accounts!

  Are you a data holder? A researcher that wants to share data with your participants? With our API tools you can enable data export for your users, return data to participants, and build apps that add new data sources.

Project features work immediately! Up to twenty users can join your project, enabling you to test all features before you're ready to deploy it.

Public data API

You don't need to set up a project to work with our public data. Get started right away with data sets some Open Humans members have generously chosen to share publicly!

Data is publicly listed on members' public profiles, and is also available through our Public Data API. It's very easy to use – because the API only returns public data, no authentication is required.

Users of the API are expected to follow our guidelines for using public data.
