How do I deposit a data collection with HMCA?
To deposit data collected under a grant from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we recommend that you use the ICPSR Electronic Data Deposit Form to securely upload files via your Web browser and establish the terms and conditions of the data transfer.
The electronic form, which is estimated to take about 15 to 30 minutes to complete, enables the depositor to describe the data collection being deposited and to designate others to access and add information to the form if desired. It does not need to be completed in one session. If you encounter any technical issues with the form or have questions, please contact deposit@icpsr.umich.edu.
Alternatively, if you cannot or prefer not to use the electronic procedure, please complete the ICPSR Data Deposit Form (PDF 61K - Word 47K) and mail it, together with the data and technical documentation, to one of the addresses shown below. Submit your data files and any electronic documentation on removable media such as CD-ROMs. Do not send your collection in an e-mail attachment or by FTP.
