Human Cohorts

The Data Analytics Platform maintains a list of cohorts and an associated catalog of cohort variables, in order to help you identify relevant cohorts for your research. In many, but not all cases, DAP also facilitates access to this data on Esrum.

The list of cohorts and the catalog of cohort variables provide brief descriptions of the cohorts and of the variables associated with these, respectively, but you are welcome to contact us if you have any questions regarding these.

Warning

You must be connected to the UCPH VPN to access either of these pages!

Applying for access

In order to get access to a cohort managed by DAP, the data owner must first grant approval. This step varies between cohorts, as data owners have different methods of governing access, but often involves a simple email exchange. Other requests may require review by a committee or another type of review.

To initiate this process, fill out the data access form and send it to SUND-CBMR-Esrum. Note that you must use a UCPH e-mail account when writing to us on this address: Mail from external addresses is currently blocked.

Access will be granted once permission to access the cohort has been formally granted and DAP has been informed. You will receive an automated email that Changes to your Identity were processed, after which it may take up to 24 hours before you can access the project folder(s) on Esrum.
