Data Sharing
TRACE
TRACE ↗ (Trusted Research Access & Cooperation Environment) is an open-source platform developed at LMU ↗ to enable secure, FAIR-compliant sharing of sensitive health data. It combines granular, researcher-driven variable selection with a metadata-rich study catalogue and sealed Trusted Research Environment (TRE) for analysis. By ensuring data never leave the institutional firewall, TRACE meets stringent GDPR and NIH requirements while supporting reproducibility through versioned datasets and audit trails. The platform lowers technical and financial barriers, making responsible data sharing accessible to institutions of all sizes.
