As of April 2021, the CDW charges $75 per hour for all projects. See Fees and Billing. Our current wait time in the request queue is 6-8 weeks before a CDW analyst can begin to work on a request. Research teams are encouraged to plan accordingly. The CDW can: Help formulate a CDW data request Estimate the cost of a CDW data request Provide count data for feasibility analysis or proposal/grant preparation without IRB approval (so called prep-to-research). Provide extracts of data housed in the CDW for retrospective or prospective research studies. This includes cohort identification, individual-level data sets, and linked data sets from multiple sources. Projects requesting individual-level data must have IRB approval. Some data streams may require additional permission to access those data from the CDW, including OCHIN data from Community Health Centers. Frequently Asked Questions What data are available?
