How can I apply?#

Last modified: 27 Aug 2025

To ensure the appropriate and fair use of LPS participants’ information, UK LLC operates a rigorous multi-stage application process (figure 1). Once an application is approved, each applicant must complete legal documentation before the UK LLC Data Team provisions their approved data in the UK LLC Trusted Research Environment (TRE). Take a look at the UK LLC Data Use Register to see a list of applications already submitted to UK LLC.

We have split our application guidance into the following pages:

• Submit your expression of interest (EoI)

• Submit your full application

• Complete the ‘paperwork’.

We have also written a guide about the application review process.

Note: only applications that include non-health administrative data will need to go through Stage 4 review.
Note: the time it takes for a researcher’s organisation to sign a DAA with UK LLC can vary between less than a month to several months – this is outside the control of UK LLC.
