Thank you for your interest in BMC CDW-R research data set extraction services. The research data set extraction request form is currently unavailable.
As announced in February, the BMC Health System is undertaking several data warehouse infrastructure improvement efforts leading up to Fall 2024. To ensure continued access to high-quality data for research purposes, the CDW-R must divert analyst efforts to data migration activities from April 1, 2024 to July 8, 2024.
The only CDW-R service that will be impacted during the downtime is new data set extraction requests. More details are on
the BMC CDW-R website.
Data set extraction requests that were not finalized by March 22 will be triaged for data extraction to begin when the downtime lifts.
A finalized CDW-R data set extraction request includes all of the following: IRB determination/approval; account number provided to CDW-R; fully completed Research Data Request form; and, where relevant, appropriate data sharing agreements executed.
