PCGL Documents

Documents for researchers using the PCGL are found here, including current and archived versions of our Governance Framework and Partnership Framework.

Data Governance​

PCGL has developed a Data Governance Framework to provide clear guidance on the administration, custodianship, and sharing of data available through PCGL. It also outlines ethical considerations and requirements for incorporating data from Canadian research collections, ensuring compliance with Canadian laws and research ethics.

The PCGL and the Silent Genomes Project Indigenous Background Variant Library (IBVL) have partnered to provide Indigenous individuals and communities participating in research with the option to have their data held under Indigenous protection, governance, and oversight. Together, they developed a Consent Template to Support Indigenous Data Sovereignty that is now available for use by the Canadian Precision Health Initiative (CPHI) projects, as well as any other research projects planning to submit data to the PCGL.

Partnership​

Partnerships are essential for the long-term sustainability, recognition, and growth of genomic data initiatives. By working with numerous partners from various settings, such as academia, industry, and government, genomic initiatives can secure stable support, exposure, strengthen governance, and maintain high-quality, accessible data. These collaborations ensure that the PCGL remains a reliable, equitable, and impactful resource over time for research and public health.

If you are interested in working with us to elevate the impact of Canadian genomics data to the next level, please contact the PCGL Partnerships Team.
