The NA-ACCORD welcomes all who are interested to participate in research. 

• 1. Getting started

Have a research question? Start by reading the NA-ACCORD’s Collaboration Polices and an overview of the steps required in our proposal development process. Then, complete the NA-ACCORD Concept Sheet to submit your idea for approval. You may find our list of Available Data Elements helpful in drafting your Concept Sheet.

Your Concept Sheet will be reviewed by:
