Research Informatics Center offers a consultation service to Stanford University and Stanford University Medical Center researchers on topics related to clinical data access for research purposes. Consultants review the clinical data needs of your research project, provide advice on requesting IRB approval to obtain clinical data from the Clinical Data Warehouse and discuss options for clinical data abstraction, reporting, and storage to meet your research needs.

We encourage researchers to contact us as early as possible in the design phase of a research project and preferably well in advance of IRB submission.
