Can I access restricted-use data from home?

Restricted-use data can be accessed in several ways, and the method depends on the study. We encourage you to visit the “How to Access Data” page to learn more about the different access methods available.

For restricted-use data accessed via Secure Download, it is likely that you may be able to access restricted-use data from home or another remote location as long as you meet the requirements in the Restricted Data Use Agreement and selected Data Security Plan, which indicates how you will access the restricted-use data.

For restricted data accessed via the Virtual Data Enclave (VDE), access may be allowed if you can identify a certain room in your remote location that meets the same physical security requirements described in the VDE Data Security Plan. The VDE Data Security Plan is an appendix to the Restricted Data Use Agreement and is provided during the application process. Approved VDE users access the data through the Omnissa Horizon View client.
