DASH User Registration & Data Access Tutorial 1

1. Introduction

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)

Data and Specimen Hub (DASH) is a centralized resource for researchers to store de-identified

data and to access data and associated biospecimens from NICHD supported studies for use in

secondary research.

The DASH User Registration & Data Access Tutorial is for those who are participating in the

NICHD Decoding Maternal Morbidity Data Challenge using data from the Nulliparous Pregnancy

Outcomes Study: Monitoring Mothers-to-be (nuMoM2b).

As a participant in the Data Challenge, this Tutorial will provide you with the step-by-step

instructions to:

1. Register for a DASH account

2. Access nuMoM2b data from DASH

If you have any questions during this process, please email [email protected].

Page 5: DASH User Registration & Data Access Tutorial

DASH User Registration & Data Access Tutorial 2

2. NICHD Data Challenge Participant Roles and DASH Roles

You may be participating in the Data Challenge as an Individual, as part of a Team, or as part of

an Entity. If you are part of a Team, you are either the Team Lead or a member of the Team. If

you are participating as an Entity, you are either the Entity Lead or a member of the Entity.

Below are the roles in DASH for the Data Challenge:

• Requester/Principal Investigator (PI)/Recipient: The lead individual who completes the

online Data Request Form (DRF) and submits the signed Data Request Form and Data

Use Agreement (DUA) to DASH for requesting nuMoM2b data from DASH.

• Affiliate: Team member from the same institution as the Team Lead or Entity Lead. Your

Team Lead must add you as an Affiliate in DASH when they submit a data request in

DASH. If you are added an Affiliate, you will be allowed to access and download data

directly from DASH. If you are added as an Affiliate, you will be allowed to access and

download data directly from DASH.

• Associate: Team member from a different institution as the Team Lead or Entity Lead,

and who does not require data in their local platform or device. If you are added as an

Associate in DASH by your Team Lead or Entity Lead when they submit a data request in

DASH, you will not be permitted by the DASH system to access or download data

directly from DASH; instead, you must access data only within the Team Lead’s or Entity

Lead’s data platform and must not download data to your local data platform or

devices.

• Collaborator: Team member from a different institution as the Team Lead or Entity

Lead, and who requires data in their local data platform or device. Your Team Lead may

identify you as a Collaborator when they submit a data request in DASH. However, if you

are a Collaborator to the Team Lead, you must complete a separate data request in

DASH and sign a separate Data Use Agreement to get access to the data. As a

Collaborator, you will be permitted to access and download data directly from DASH to

your local data platform or device.

Page 6: DASH User Registration & Data Access Tutorial

DASH User Registration & Data Access Tutorial 3

Note: Only those who are participating in the Data Challenge as an Individual,

Team Lead, Entity Lead or Collaborator are required to submit a data request

in DASH. Team members who are Affiliates or Associates must not submit a

data request in DASH; your Team Lead or Entity Lead will submit a data

request in DASH and add you to their data request.
