The Human Genomes Platforms Project (HGPP) aims to leverage best practice technologies and global standards to accelerate Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reuseable (FAIR) human genomics data sharing in Australia. Involving leading Australian human genomics research organisations, along with national computing infrastructure partners, the HGPP is breaking down silos and facilitating the deployment of much needed genomic data sharing infrastructure in Australia. The main project themes are: virtual cohort assembly; data access committee (DAC) automation; federated identity and access management; data and metadata archiving; and documentation, communications and training. We are collaborating with partners internationally to bring best practice technologies to Australia. This includes: Investigating emerging Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) standards including Beacon v2 for virtual cohort assembly and Passports to enable access to data Assessing software including Resource Entitlement Management System (REMS) and Data Use Oversight System (DUOS) to facilitate the Data Access Request and Approval process undertaken by DACs Establishing a national life science authentication service using CILogon Investigating the feasibility of a Federated European Genome-Phenome Archive (FEGA) node in Australia Ensuring all aspects of the project are well-documented as well as hosting webinars and training sessions to ensure outputs are easily adopted by the community Here we introduce the HGPP, an Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and Bioplatforms Australia funded project with in-kind contributions from partner organisations. We describe our achievements to date, outline our upcoming plans for the project and how they will improve the landscape of human genomics data sharing for Australian researchers.
