Questions about permits and networks
A defined purpose, a defined dataset and a defined period, issued by a Health Data Access Body from 26 March 2029. Consent-based access under national law continues until then.
The data is prepared on the OMOP CDM those networks use. Formal participation is stated on this page once confirmed, and not before.
Plan the indication, the variables and the country against the 2029 and 2031 dates rather than in the year they apply.
