We welcome proposals for collaborative research that use data from our Population Science studies, including the Cancer Prevention Studies.

If you¡¯re an investigator interested in using cohort data from surveys, biospecimens, or both, to conduct a study, see the Department of Population Science Data Access Policies and Procedures.

Here¡¯s what to expect.

Overview of Process

• The first step is to fill out an online form that includes a short bio of your training and experience (maximum 300 words) and a single paragraph (maximum 300 words) of your research idea.
  
  
• A Population Science investigator will provide an initial evaluation of your research idea.
  
  
• It may take up to 8 weeks before you know whether you've been invited to submit a full proposal. You may contact cohort.data@cancer.org with questions related to your request.|
  
  
• If requested, submit a full research proposal by email. In certain scenarios, you may be required to submit additional information.
  
  
• If your project is approved, we'll initiate a Research Collaboration Agreement that your institution will review and sign to allow access to data and/or specimens for your approved project.

Note:?All approved projects may be subject to fees for use of data and biospecimens to offset staff time and specimen storage, processing, and shipping costs (not including assays).
