How to access

How to access JPHC-NEXT data and/or biospecimens.

Investigators are granted access to JPHC-NEXT data and/or biospecimens after approval of the JPHC-NEXT Steering Committee (SC) and the Institutional Review Board (IRB).

Currently only citizens of Japan who fulfill the requirements of conducting research projects are eligible to apply for the JPHC-NEXT data and/or biospeciments.

The investigator is required to submit a Project Protocol (Research question, Aim, Background, Design and analytical plan) for review by the JPHC-NEXT SC.
Requests can be made by contacting the JPHC-NEXT SC directly (jphcadmin@ml.res.ncc.go.jp) or investigators in JPHC-NEXT (see the “Contact us” section).

After approval is obtained from the JPHC-NEXT SC, the investigator is required to obtain additional approval for the protocol under which the data and/or biospecimens are to be used from the Institutional Review Board of the National Cancer Center.
