The Researcher Workbench is a cloud-based platform where registered researchers can access Registered and Controlled Tier data. Its powerful tools support data analysis and collaboration. Integrated help and educational resources are provided through the Workbench User Support Hub.
Workspaces
Registered researchers use workspaces to access, store, and analyze data for specific research projects. Workspaces are collaborative and can be shared among other registered researchers within a project team.
Uses: Organizing research projects, collaboration
