The Confidential Data Request Form (37 pages) must be filled out completely. Any areas left blank without explanation will delay review of this request. The approval process generally takes approximately four to eight weeks from the time your completed form is received. The committee meets monthly to review requests. You will be notified of the status of your request after the monthly meeting.
Maintaining confidentiality of the individuals in our databases is paramount to our missions and is upheld with great respect. For this reason, it is important that you as the requestor specify your need for confidential data containing unique identifiers throughout this form. While this may seem an arduous process, it is a small burden compared to the privilege of working with this very sensitive information and the ever-present potential of its misuse. Select only the minimum amount of variables needed to conduct your research. |
