VICHTA Data Request Form

Data can only be accessed for the agreed duration and for the purposes stated in the project proposal. Should the need arise to extend the project, the VICHTA group should be notified; extensions of more than 25% of the planned duration will need committee approval. Analyses may not be undertaken and/or published or reported to an outside group without the knowledge and approval of the VICHTA Steering Committee. A fixed fee of £2,000 will be charged for all academic analyses, with an additional cost of £150 per day or part of a day spent on data extraction. Funding will go towards VICHTA costs, data extraction and day–to–day maintenance of the archive. Any abstracts or manuscripts should be reviewed by the Steering Committee prior to submission for publication. This applies to both national and international publications. Inadvertent un-blinding of any individual study in an internal report may not be perpetuated in any subsequent publication. Any publication arising through VICHTA analyses should be accompanied by an acknowledgement that the study is a part of the VICHTA Collaboration as appropriate. VICHTA may contact collaborators following the analysis period to enquire about the status of publication, and to gauge any improvements which can be made to the resource.
