How to start:
- Draft your research question, aim(s), and hypothesis (es)
- Review our Available Data Elements to determine if the NA-ACCORD is an appropriate source of data for your research
- Select from one of the following:
- If you are requesting estimates or mathematical functions from the NA-ACCORD (i.e., you do not need individual-level data), consider our Fast Track process
- If you wish to conduct research using NA-ACCORD data, consider our Concept Sheet process for submitting your research idea for approval
- If you do not see the data you need in our Available Data Elements, review our Data Elements Request process
Approvals of scientific products:
All scientific products – including abstracts, manuscripts, and reports – that utilize NA-ACCORD data need approval prior to submission to journals, conferences or other audiences. The approvals process for scientific products specific to the type of approved project (i.e., Fast Track, Concept Sheet, or New Data Element Request) are located in the links above.
