# Studies

A study is a group of users working together with a common goal. Studies allow users to apply for access to study requirements on datasets as a group. It also makes sharing workflows and [user-created datasets](/guides/create-and-manage-datasets/create-and-populate-a-dataset.md) easier.

## Create a study

You can create a study by clicking the **+ New** button on the studies tab of your workspace. Any study you are a part of will appear in your workspace. Any edits you make will appear for all study collaborators.

## Edit a study

You can add collaborators to your study. Collaborators can edit the study and will by default have edit access to all workflows created in this study.

When you create a study, you are assigned as the study's PI in the collaborators list. Organization administrators use this field to better track studies applying for their data.

If you add more users to a study you can change the PI assignment. Over on a user's name and click **Make PI** to transfer. Note that once you change the PI you will no longer have the ability to change the PI assignment.

You can also give a study a description, which will help administrators and other study members better understand its goals.
