Access restrictions
OMOP-CDM access is limited to UNR Med faculty and students with a valid NetID.
Although the OMOP-CDM is classified by the IRB as Not Human Subjects Research, researchers must still obtain IRB review for any requests involving patient-level data.
Data tiers
Tier 1
Aggregated data
No IRB approval required; suitable for feasibility or exploratory studies.
Tier 2
Patient line-item data
Requires an IRB request for a Determination of Human Subjects Research. Before submitting your data request:
- Complete the OMOP-CDM subproject protocol
- Complete the research data use agreement
- Upload both documents with your data request application.
Please note: HIPAA and CITI research ethics training must be completed prior to receiving access to tier 2 data.
Tier 3
Patient identifiable data
Not available. The OMOP-CDM contains no personally identifiable information, and CDS does not provide direct access to live Epic data.
Data storage and access
OMOP-CDM data can be securely analyzed through UNR Med’s protected remote desktop environment. This allows researchers to work directly with the data without downloading it to personal computers. Results and outputs from approved analyses are shared with users through a secure UNR Med platform.
