Note that a final accepted proposal will require two separate reviews:
- A scientific review of the paper by the Publications Committee (P&P).
- A review of data set selection by PIs of selected TOPMed studies.
Use this form to initiate review #2 by selecting data sets for a paper proposal that you have already submitted. Each data set has specific Data Use Limitations (DULs)--please read them carefully as you will be expected to follow the terms. Each selection will be reviewed by the appropriate PI(s) or designees, who will either approve or deny use of their data sets for this paper.
What datasets are shown below?
In this form, each data set corresponds to a single dbGaP consent group within one component study of TOPMed, and is indicated by a single check box.
The options below reflect consent groups from studies that have completed TOPMed dbGaP registrations. Please revisit this form as additional consent groups will be added as groups complete their TOPMed dbGaP registration. You can check the status for TOPMed studies online.
Need help choosing?
A list of abbreviations and definitions is provided below the table.
You may also find these summaries of PI guidance for which study-consent groups can be used for analyses in each working group domain helpful: Phase 1 and Phase 2. Please only request data sets from studies after communicating with the PI(s) about use of their study for your particular paper proposal.
Form instructions: Click the checkbox next to the desired data set(s), then click the "Request these data sets" button. In the next step, you will specify your proposal and agree to terms.
