Finding and Accessing Datasets

  • Discovering datasets - Datasets of interest can be discovered in AnVIL’s dataset catalog, the AnVIL Data Explorer and by reviewing data-focused workspaces available to you once you are logged into Terra.
  • Requesting dataset access - AnVIL's open access datasets are accessible to all upon logging into Terra or AnVIL Data Explorer. To request access for datasets with access restrictions, see AnVIL's guides for requesting access to Controlled Access and Consortium Access datasets. If you need help to access additional datasets, please reach out to us at help@lists.anvilproject.org.
  • Once your access is approved - the workspaces associated with your new datasets will be listed on your Terra workspaces tab. Clone the workspace to begin working with the dataset.
