The General Release Data License (PDF) is a legal document between the researcher, the Receiving Institution, and NDACAN. Changes in the employment status of the researcher require the completion of a new Data License.

NDACAN will have full discretion in deciding whether the Investigator meets eligibility criteria. If NDACAN decides all requirements are met, a representative from NDACAN will sign the General Release Data License (PDF) and return a copy of the fully executed license to the applicant along with a copy of the data.

During the course of the research project, the investigator may apply to have research staff access the NSCAW data by submitting one Supplemental Agreement with Research Staff (PDF) for each staff person. The investigator cannot provided data access to these new research staff until the Archive countersigns Supplemental Agreement and returns a copy to the Investigator.

Questions about acquiring the NSCAW General Release Data may be sent to the above address or sent via e-mail to NDACAN@cornell.edu.
