CBII FAQs | Is there a cost associated with access to CBII data?
CBII data are free, but, in order to support the restricted-use data access systems (e.g., the Virtual Data Enclave (VDE)), projects are required to purchase individual VDE user licenses. An annual fee is $675/user (subject to change). Each team member with access to the data must have a license.
Many funding agencies permit investigators to include data access costs as a line item in the grant application budget.
