  ~~ol:hierarchical~~
  - When the LHA Data Sharing Committee approves a proposal it will recommend the level of collaboration required with the NSHD Study Team. The collaboration required takes into account the quality, sensitivity or amount of data/meta-data requested, the extent of biomedical data requested, and the scientific investments of the NSHD Study Team and their key specialist collaborators.
  - A NSHD co-ordinator may be assigned, at UCL’s sole discretion, to a research project by the LHA Data Sharing Committee.

This means that a NSHD co-ordinator (either from the study team or one of their key expert collaborators) is assigned to help the external scientist make the best use of the Data, advise on interpretation of a specialist database, or supervise the use of sensitive or restricted data. Facilitated collaborations may be required in the following circumstances and may involve additional conditions for use of the data: this list is indicative rather than exhaustive.
    - Proposals that require access to a specialist database created by a key collaborator or have required significant investments in time by the study team.
    - Proposals that require access to sensitive data. Sensitive data include, but are not limited to, the cause and date of death of a study member, data on residential or emigration history, and medical and other information with small cell counts (e.g. hospital admissions, or illnesses).
    - Proposals requiring access to data or meta-data that have not yet been through the vigorous quality assurances protocols that are in place and will require a significant amount of time to check and/or clean.
