Inclusion in the Federated EGA is codified by signing of the [Federated EGA Collaboration Agreement](TBD) between Central EGA (represented by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and Fundació Centre De Regulació Genòmica) and the Federated EGA node.

Check out the pathway to becoming a Federated EGA node which outlines governance (as well as technical) steps to join the Federated EGA Network:

### Data Processing Agreement (DPA)

As Central EGA is a Data Processor under GDPR definitions, all data submitters are required to agree to and sign the [EGA Data Processing Agreement](https://ega-archive.org/files/EGA_Data_Processing_Agreement_v1.1.pdf). Federated EGA nodes also acting as Data Processors will require a similar agreement outline the roles and responsibilities of Data Processors, Data Controllers, and Data Requestors.

## 3. Complete steps to join Federated EGA

The pathway to becoming a Federated EGA node includes governance/legal steps (red, top-right path) that must be completed:

* **Contact FEGA with intent to join**. This step can be accomplished by engaging in the ELIXIR FHD Community ("[How do I start?](https://ega-archive.github.io/FEGA-onboarding/#how-do-i-start)") or by contacting Mallory Freeberg or Amy Curwin.
* **Present use cases to ELIXIR FHD Community; Complete FEGA Use Case Survey**. Nodes are encouraged to present at an ELIXIR FHD Community Call on topics related to: 1) national use cases for managing sensitive human omics, phenotype, and clinical data; 2) current challenges for managing sensitive human data; 3) solutions/initiatives planned or in progress to meet these challenges; and 4) how Federated EGA fits in to the node's overall goals.

* **Perform FEGA Maturity Model self-assessment**. This step can be accomplished by [evaluating your node against the Maturity Model](https://ega-archive.github.io/FEGA-onboarding/topics/maturity-model/#2-evaluate-against-the-fega-maturity-model).
* **Sign FEGA Legal Agreement**. Also called the "FEGA Collaboration Agreement", this is the final step to official join the Federated EGA.
