From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: PGP Harvard: Invitation from Open Humans Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2016 19:18:30 +0000 Dear PGP Harvard participant, The following is an invitation from a third party activity. While this activity is not conducted by PGP Harvard, we thought you might be interested in learning about it. You are receiving this because: - you are enrolled in the Harvard Personal Genome Project Note: This activity is not reviewed by the Harvard Medical School Institutional Review Board as part of PGP Harvard's study protocol. Third party activities have approval from their own IRB or equivalent when applicable (see information below). You can decline this activity, or unsubscribe to all third party activity notifications, by following instructions at the bottom of this email. Thank you for your ongoing participation! PGP Harvard Title: Open Humans About: We'd like to invite you to become a member of Open Humans, a project that expands upon the successes of the Harvard Personal Genome Project. As an Open Humans member, you can connect your PGP data to data from other activities and research studies! Diverse research studies and commercial sources can be added, including: - 23andMe - American Gut - AncestryDNA - Fitbit - GoViral - Illumina Understand Your Genome - Moves - uBiome - Wild Life of Our Homes - Withings To join Open Humans and link your PGP account, visit the third party activities page here: https://my.pgp- hms.org/open_humans/participate Open Humans also makes you and your data more accessible to researchers and citizen scientists. You can allow other members to send you messages, and it's much easier for new research projects to work with you and your data. Projects can be set up online and work immediately with Open Humans members. (Are you a researcher? EFTA00699387 Read more about this here: https://www.openhumans.org/research/) Open Humans is not exclusively PGP: members can connect with a variety of studies and data sources. But they all have a lot in common! Open Humans members enjoy contributing to exciting new studies, sharing their data with researchers, and exploring that data themselves. GET Labs and GET Conference in Boston this year on April 25-26 also have special deals for Open Humans members. (You probably already got an email mentioning this.) If you're interested in GET, you can read more here: http://blog.openhumans.org/2016/02/26/get-conference-get-labs/ The Open Humans website is not a study in itself, but it does host an optional "Public Data Sharing" study. Like the PGP, this study enables members to publicly share data -- you'll probably want to join it! Other research studies on Open Humans each have their own oversight at respective institutions. Open Humans is a project of the same nonprofit (PersonalGenomes.org) that has supported the Harvard Personal Genome Project since 2008 and is founded and developed by Madeleine Ball and Jason Bobe. Open Humans can be connected to your Harvard PGP account, but is not required for participation in the Harvard PGP study. To decline the Open Humans activity you can reply to this email with "decline open humans", and we will no longer send you invitations to this activity. To unsubscribe from all notifications for third party activities, please reply to this email with "unsubscribe to all invitations" and we'll refrain from sending you further invitations to third party activities.
