Data Request Application

A data request refers to a formal request or solicitation made by an individual or team to access specific data or information. It typically involves requesting data from a data custodian for a particular purpose, such as research, analysis, or decision-making. A data request outlines the details of the requested data, including the scope, format, and any specific requirements or conditions. The data custodian then evaluates the request and, if approved, provides the requested data to the requester, considering any applicable legal, privacy, and security considerations.

What are the steps involved in creating an application for a data request?

1. From the Tablion homepage, select the "Step 2: Submit a Data Request" option.

1. Researchers will be directed to a page displaying a comprehensive list of all available datasets.

Additionally, the page provides information regarding the specific data passport required to access each dataset.

1. The researcher will be redirected to a page where they can access and review all the relevant information regarding the selected dataset.

1. The researcher must click on the "Start access request" button to initiate the data request process for the selected dataset. If the researcher does not have the Required Passport to access this data, they can also apply for a data passport from this page as well.

1. The researcher must fill out the data request form with the required information:

   • Title: The title of the data request. This is for identification purposes and is not used for the assessment of the request.

   • Purpose: The reason behind why you are requesting this data and your intention on how you are going to utilise it.

   • Are you applying as an individual or as a team? If you select 'Individual' you cannot invite others to access the dataset. Alternatively, you can select 'Team' and this option allows you to invite other users from the member's tab to this access request. Note: If you select to invite other users from your team, they will need to hold the relevant Passport applicable for their role within Tablion to access the data.

   All other questions in a data request application are set by the Dataset owners, these questions will/may vary from dataset to dataset within the platform.
