Question About Terra Setup and dbGaP Data Access

Data Access
1

Dear AnVIL Support Team,

I am an approved downloader for dbGaP study phs000933 under my PI’s approved Data Access Request.

I have completed the following steps:

1. Registered my Terra account using my institutional email.

2. Verified my identity through ID.me.

3. Linked my eRA Commons account through NIH RAS.

4. Confirmed that Terra recognizes my eRA Commons ID.

However, Terra still displays “Resources: Not authorized,” and the RAS username appears to be associated with my previous personal Outlook email.

I would like to use Terra/AnVIL to perform RNA-seq analysis on this dataset. I can access the study through the NCBI SRA Run Selector and generate a JWT Cart.

Could you please clarify:

  1. Does “Resources: Not authorized” need to be resolved before I can analyze this dataset in Terra?

  2. Can I proceed with creating my own Google Cloud Billing Account and Terra Workspace while this issue is being resolved?

  3. Since phs000933 does not appear in the AnVIL Data Explorer, what is the recommended procedure for securely importing the authorized SRA data into Terra?

Thank you very much for your guidance!

Best,
Emily
