Request access to existing data

The School of Medicine has an established virtual committee, the Data Custodian and Academic Proposals (DCAP) Committee, to process external requests for data from School projects. To request data from a specific study, please firstly contact the Principal or Chief Investigator and/or the Data custodian of the study to discuss your request and then complete the External request form (downloadable below) and associated documents detailed in the external request form. Send the completed forms to the DCAP registrar (medicine.datasharing@keele.ac.uk). The registrar will then share the request to selected members of the DCAP committee to review the following considerations:

  1. the ethics and other approvals and consent agreements in place for project(s) concerned,
  2. feasibility of analysis proposed,
  3. potential duplication of research question(s) or analysis within the School,
  4. strength and appropriateness of team,
  5. how data will be stored,
  6. dissemination plan

Comments and concerns will be shared with the requestor. If approved the data will be released by the study data custodian following correspondence with requestor.

Should an amendment be required for the original request please complete an amendment form and send to the DCAP registrar for consideration.
