The next three steps can be occurring simultaneously following approval.

  1. Obtain signatures on master Data Use Agreement and project specific exhibit from your institution's research office. For more information and actual agreements, see the transfer agreements forms page. You should start immediately after request approval as this step can sometimes take as much as a few months to work through.

  3. Refine data needs with Resource Sharing Coordinator.

After agreement is fully executed and saved on file at Rush, you will receive your data.

The Data and Specimen Sharing Agreements with the National Institutes of Health require Rush investigators to track the distribution of all data and specimens, including the recipients' grant numbers and funding.
