Research Data Request Process

Persons interested in data from the National Endoscopic Database (NED) must complete the Data Request Form. If the requested data is intended for publication, the CORI Publication Agreement must be submitted along with the Data Request Form.

If you are requesting information needed for specific due dates, you will need to submit the research proposal to us a minimum of 90 days in advance of the deadline. The earlier you submit your information, the more likely we will be able to meet your target date.

If you have any questions about completing these forms or research processes at CORI in general, please contact CORI Research Services at research@ohsu.edu .

Data requests intended for publication or a research proposal require approval by the Research Operations Committee. Committee members include GI investigators and epidemiologists who have in-depth knowledge about the data stored in the NED. In this role, they oversee the ongoing research activities to ensure they represent proper research methodology and possess scientific merit.

Proposals will be reviewed based on the following criteria:

• Feasibility—can data derived from the CORI NED address the research question?
• Conflicts—is there a conflicting study by other CORI participants?
• Cost—what is the estimated cost to CORI for performing the study?
• Database changes—what, if any, database changes will be needed to acquire data?
• Consent—will patient consent be required to complete the study?
• Pilot Data—does the investigator need pilot data for the project submission?

CORI Research Analysts will work with you to develop your proposal according their in-depth knowledge about the data available in the NED. A Research Analyst will also assist in development of an analysis plan and will perform all statistical analyses.

Data Request Form: Please complete this form if you are interested in utilizing CORI data. Research Services will notify you after the request has been received.

Publication Agreement (pdf): This form must be signed in order to access CORI data for any publication purposes (abstracts, manuscripts, grants, etc.). Fax this form to CORI Research Services at 503-494-6522.
