There are four types of data requests:

  1. Simple daa requests that can be fulfilled with existing data and do not require additional programming or analysis and do not require a Data Use Agreement (DUA);
  2. Data requests for Standard Analysis File (SAFs) or Simulated Allocation Models (SAMs) that require DUAs;
  3. Data requests requiring linkages to an external data source that require a DUA and must be approved by the SRTR Visiting Committee (SVC);
  4. and Data requests that require additional SRTR analysis that are considered depending on resources available and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Cost associated with each data request depends on the amount of personnel time required to fulfill the request. SAF cost $1000 and each updated SAF costs an additional $500. Data requests that take less than four hours of personnel time are free and generally completed within 30 days. Requests for data that require more than four hours require payment at $125 per hour with an additional $1000 cost.
