Data Approval Process

All data access, both for Research and Non-Research purposes, requires the completion of the Data Request Form with the signature of the Department Chair or Administrative Director. Once the form is submitted, the Data Resource Center will work with IRB or other agencies to serve as your advocate in the approval process.

Which other forms do I need to complete?

The other required forms vary depending on the purpose of your data access. DRC staff is currently working with the appropriate campus groups to summarize the various processes and provide more detailed instructions to help you through the process. Please check back with us in the near future for updated process information. In the meantime, there are several sources online:
