PCORnet® Front Door Services

Data Network Request

Data Network Requests generally provide preliminary data to help design proposals or assess study feasibility.

  • The PCORnet® Front Door team contacts you to schedule a consultation and understand your data needs
  • If appropriate, the PCORnet® Front Door team will partner to develop your query for the PCORnet® Common Data Model, and securely distribute the query to PCORnet® Network Partners. PCORnet® Network Partners will choose whether or not to execute the query and will send back results.
  • Once data are returned, the PCORnet® Front Door team will meet with you to review your data report and answer any questions

Queries can take from weeks to months depending on the complexity of the request, availability of the requestor to address questions, and number of other queries in the queue. Simple Data Network Requests are generally completed without charge. More complex queries, including those as part of research projects are supported by those research funds.
