+Loading an existing study/project from EBI-ENA to Qiita.
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+If you want us to load a study into Qiita, please complete `this form <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1SIq_JNWai7cZ2wwjD8xZpTab7qBifLKu3TZm2B363CE/edit?ts=5fbe8c0b&gxids=7628>`__
+and send us an email to [email protected]. Then, a Qiita Admin will download your requested studies
+using https://github.com/ucsd-cmi/qebil and then loading into Qiita using
+https://github.com/qiita-spots/qiita/pull/3112. Note that as this is still
+not automatic, only an admin can do this. However, we ask the user requesting
+the studies to help us fix the metadata - try to make as close as possible to
+:ref:`checklist-for-ebi-ena-submission` so we can open them to other users. For
+whatever is worth, qebil will download whatever metadata is available in EBI-ENA
+but in our experience is not that close to Qiita's requirements; thus, the request
+for your help.
