Activities on Open Humans

About activities

Note: "activities" were previously called "projects" on our site, and updates to this language change are in process! They refer to the same thing.

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.

On-site or OAuth2?

There are two different types of activities you can set up, depend on how authorization and enrollment occurs.
