How to Request a Dataset
To request an ÃÜÌÒÊÓÆµ dataset, researchers must include the following in their request:
- Submit a research proposal to ÃÜÌÒÊÓÆµ, including research design, rationale, expected variables, and dissemination plan.
- Seek and obtain IRB approval through their institution, including full approval and requests for exemption.
Once ÃÜÌÒÊÓÆµ receives a dataset request, staff will review and return a decision within two- to three-weeks. Larger requests may require a longer turnaround time.
If approved, the researcher will receive a data use agreement to sign and return to ÃÜÌÒÊÓÆµ prior to provision of the data. This agreement details the scope of the data request, which is typically limited to one study (equivalent to one journal article or conference presentation), and the publication approval process.
Before submitting a request, researchers are encouraged to review ÃÜÌÒÊÓÆµ's Annual Survey Codebook for clarification on survey variables, as they may vary from year to year.
