RFQ-RFQ for the Build of a Trusted Research Environment (TRE)
Background
As Abu Dhabi solidifies its position as a global leader in healthcare innovation, the development of a Trusted Research Environment (TRE) is a pivotal step in advancing the secure management and analysis of sensitive health data, including genomic, phenotypic, and clinical information. Building on the success of the Emirates Genome Program, this initiative responds to the growing need for a secure, scalable, and modular platform that will facilitate groundbreaking advances in precision medicine, disease prevention, and personalized healthcare solutions.
The vision for this TRE is to build a best-in-class platform, setting a new benchmark for secure research environments. This state-of-the-art infrastructure will enable researchers and clinicians to access and analyse sensitive multi-omics data while ensuring compliance with the highest standards of data privacy, regulatory requirements, and governance. The TRE will harness Abu Dhabi’s wealth of genomic and clinical data, empowering the healthcare research community to unlock new insights, accelerate scientific discoveries, and pioneer innovative healthcare solutions.
A key outcome of the TRE will be the support of advanced research areas, such as AI-driven drug discovery, clinical trials, and real-world data analysis. By providing access to integrated multi-omics datasets in a secure and controlled environment, researchers will be able to explore new therapeutic avenues, identify disease biomarkers, and generate evidence that informs healthcare interventions. The TRE will further enhance collaboration across institutions and researchers, fostering an ecosystem of innovation while ensuring the highest standards of data security and governance.
By promoting a culture of collaboration and driving innovation, the TRE will not only safeguard sensitive health data but will also serve as the backbone for future advancements in research. This RFP marks the critical next phase in this journey, focusing on the build of a secure, scalable TRE platform that is designed to provide world-class research capabilities while maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and protection.
