Potential and existing users can use the repository to explore the NSHD metadata (descriptions of the data) to enable them to formulate proposals for data access requests to the NSHD Data Sharing Committee. | ||

+ | \\ \\ | ||
+ | We will always assess the re-identification risk to NSHD study members as part of project consideration. Such risks put a limit on the potential maximum size of dataset that can be supplied. Please be sure to only select the core variables needed for the project. | ||
+ | \\ \\ | ||
+ | Due to workflow issues, if a single project results in multiple data basket requests, there will likely be a delay between the delivery of successive baskets. | ||
+ | \\ \\ | ||
+ | When received data access requests are similar to projects already approved, ongoing, or are similar or | ||
+ | complementary to LHA scientific programmes, researchers are encouraged to collaborate on | ||
+ | a common project. | ||

+ | The NSHD Data Sharing Committee reserves the right to prioritise applications where | ||
+ | necessary. Projects that will incur significant extra work by LHA data management staff | ||
+ | may be subject to a charge to cover the additional costs incurred by the LHA. Any such | ||
+ | costs will be notified in advance. | ||
