 ## Background
 
+Trusted research environments and datasets are fundamental to digital science, but work is often delayed due to the time and effort required to set up a secure project, get access to the right approved data, and to sign legal agreements.
+
+There is enormous value locked up because of this: new research ideas are blocked by the hurdles of get started and accessing data, and typical fixed term project funding means significant research time is lost.
+
+We want to discuss what is stopping us from fixing these three critical issues: getting data federated to approved projects; instant provisioning of infrastructure for collaborative projects; and streamlining legal discussions with standard accepted T&Cs and operating models.
+
+The UK TRE community has already setup several working groups to look at some of these problems, and we plan to to submit a [UKRI Digital Research Technical Professional Skills NetworkPlus](https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/ukri-digital-research-technical-professional-skills-networkplus/) grant to create a long-term footing for the UK TRE community, and to support the community in joining or creating working groups to solve the critical issues which are hampering secure digital research.
