Human Exposome Assessment Platform

Deliverables

Sensor pilot Documentation

Prior to the enrollment of the first subject, we will submit (i) Final version of study protocol as submitted to regulators/ethics committee(s), (ii) Registration number of clinical study in a WHO-or ICMJE- approved registry (with the possibility to post results), (iii) Approvals (ethics committees and national competent authority if applicable) required for invitation/enrolment of first subject in at least one clinical centre.

Exposure DNAme signatures

A list of CpGs which collectively change as a function of exposure to a specific conditionfactor and which can be used to define an index eg smokingindex will be provided

List of Working Groups and ToR for the WGs - EXPANSE/HEAP

A first set of working groups will be made and Term of Reference for the WGs will be specified including the selection of work group leaders coleads and members

Reference architecture

Document describing the reference architecture for Information Commons and technical requirements.

Secure platform and recruitment

Recruitment using secure electronic customer receipts analysis platform commenced Plan to recruit 10000 individuals

Report on secure data platform

Documentation of the secure data platform and its integration into HEAP.

Ageing DNAme signatures

A list of CpGs which collectively change as a function of age eg general age signature stem cell polycombgroup target signature replicative age etc will be provided

Report on databases mapped

Report on databases mapped and how they contribute to the proper implementation of the GDPR and national legislation. Databases are mapped according to their legal bases, relevant other GDPR issues and options for 'further use' for research. The dataflows for the research, data protection by design, data security at the various in-between phases, controller-processor agreements and the final database(s) are mapped. The report will include recommendations for possible improvements from a GDPR perspective and include a DPIA on processing of data on the CSC platform.

Handover document to next coordinating team – EXPANSE/HEAP

Document summarising network activities and ongoing activities to facilitate a smooth transition to the next team. This document will include concise reports from working groups.

Report on consumer receipts data and sample-derived data

Special report about how data from a consenting cohort providing data from consumer receipts may be used for public health in an ethically and data protection compliant way In that context also a DPIA will be performed

Knowledge and information sharing - Phase I

Report from activities implemented and resources developed in order to support data providers within the consortium to effectively upload data to HEAP

Report on implementation for research use cases

Report describing implementation and experiences from HEAP research use cases.

Report on consumer data

Scientific report on consumer data’s potential as a tool for lifestyle assessment including methodology needed to facilitate evidence-based consumer-friendly lifestyle advice. Report on potential exposure to nutrients, chemicals, and additives as accessed by consumer data, and association to health-related outcomes, or absence of such outcomes.

Integrated personal exposome and metabolomics profile

A complete report of personal exposome and metabolomics profile, and how these factors may impact the health of the participant, and potential risk for certain diseases. The report may be integrated with findings from WP8 and WP9 to provide a fuller vision of the health of a particular participant.

An established setting for evaluation

An established setting for evaluation of the extent of exposures to the populations in 2 EU countries with consecutive time-windows (continuous population-based enrolment ongoing for 10 to 35 years) allows access to bio-specimens taken at any calendar year of interest for evaluating impact of naturally occurring and iatrogenic exposures to the population. This deliverable is linked to task 3.2.

Knowledge and information-sharing plan

Report from the mapping of key topics to be addressed as well as the mapping of target audiences including a plan for the elaboration and implementation of learning and informational resources and events

Data availability confirmation

An explicit confirmation that the data used in the project is publicly available and can be freely used for the purposes of the project. (KI, M6)

Ontology and semantic metadata

Ontology and semantic metadata for metagenomic profiles and tools for NGS data management

Project Website

The HEAP website with information on exposome research in general and the project in particular, with sections targeted either to the scientific community or to the general public.

Network website - HEAP

Website with network activities and links to all individual network websites.

HEAP Data Warehouse

Complete configuration of Hopswork for the requirements of HEAP including data management, analysis, and sharing and the integration with IC and analysis providers. We will create a Hopsworks HEAP repo in GitHub.

Improved wearable PEMs

A wearable and durable PEM that enables everyday monitoring of environmental exposure at the personal level and provides data for streaming and real-time monitoring implemented by WP6.

Searchable database

Searchable database with data on all the donors (age, sex) and registry-derived data on all the disease endpoints that have developed in the three cohorts. The software for the database is developed by partner 2 (SSI) and allows integrity-assured, yet flexible searches that will allow easy design of maximally informative research studies based on the biospecimens and data from these cohorts. In Collaboration with WP10, data from the database will be available to the IC.

Bacterial and viral metagenomics.

High performance bioinformatics workflow for mining bacterial de novo analysis of viral genomes in metagenomic sequencing datasets genomes in NGS metagenomic sequencing datasets.

Online platform and tools

An online platform combining informational and educational material, enriched with learning management and newsletter functionalities.

Data management plan

Data Management Plan - This deliverable will provide the governance and HEAP policies regarding the access, management and sharing of all the used and produced data during and after the project is completed. The plan will cover the generation of metadata from the different data sources of the project including all the cohorts, the raw and processed data and the results to be stored, preserved and shared for future exposome research.
