All users who wish to request restricted data from CAP are required to submit a data access application to the CAP Steering Committee. The committee will review the proposal and assess its eligibility with respect to the goals of the CAP project. If approved, CAP will liaise with each of the Contributing Studies whose data is required for the Research Project. Each Contributing Study (or nominee) will then review the proposal and assess its eligibility with respect to the goals of the Contributing Study.

Tips after you login to the CAP server:

  • If you want to search a particular study name, write "[prefix]*" in the Case ID search field. E.g., "MES*" for searching all the MESA data.
  • Clicking search button without any search term will list all the available data that you have been granted access to.
