Data and/or biological samples from the SPHS may be requested for research or operational purposes. Use of data and/or samples for research may require an IRB approval for use. All requests are subjected to review by the SPHS Scientific Committee (SC) and the use of data and/or samples must be in accordance with the terms and conditions stated in the Data Request form.
The use of SPHS resources is subjected to an access fee. This access fee seeks to recover the costs of servicing an access application, including data concierge, and data preparation. We do not seek to recover the cost of development and management of the SPHS resource.
