Open Humans

Open Humans is a program of the nonprofit Open Humans Foundation and has been funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Knight Foundation. Our 2015 launch was written up in Forbes, Newsweek, Scientific American, and more. You decide when to share. You have valuable data, and you'll decide when to share it. The data you provide will be private by default. You can choose which projects to share with. You can also opt to make some (or all) of your data public , so anyone can access and research it! Studies, projects, and more. Browse our activities list to see the many potential data sources you can add, and interesting projects you can join. Be a part of research. We'll recognize your contributions with badges on your profile page, invite you to talk to other community members in our online forums, and periodically post new activities, study updates, and relevant interviews in our newsletters and on our blog. Are you a researcher or citizen scientist? We want to help you use our platform! Get started right away with public data available on members' public profiles , and through our Public Data API. You can also create projects to work directly with members , using APIs and on-site tools! Projects have tons of options: they can invite members to anonymously share data, help members add new data, invite them to surveys, and more. It's free and works immediately! Got a great idea? Grants of up to $5000 are available for projects that expand the Open Humans ecosystem.
