I am working with a research team that consists of researchers at different institutions. Can a research team working across different institutions use one application to apply for access to restricted use data?
Researchers from different institutions must apply separately for access to the restricted use data and submit their own Restricted Data Use Agreement signed by an Institutional Representative at their institution since the Restricted Data Use Agreement is at the institution-level. Although the research project may have one lead Investigator, an Investigator with PI-eligibility is also needed within each institution to read and acknowledge the Restricted Data Use Agreement. Each application should cross reference the other institution in the Research Description. Please contact CFData-help@umich.edu if you need any assistance with this process.
