Researchers from across JHU that are outside of JHM HIPPA covered entities (e.g. JHSPH, Whiting School of Engineering, Homewood Campus Schools, and APL) play an important role in many research projects involving JHM patient data. HIPPA and Common Rule Regulations impact what data these researchers can see and under what circumstances. This site provides guidance on how JHSPH researchers can gain access to JHM patient data while remaining in compliance with legal requirements, data security, and management best practices.

For questions about JHM patient data access please reach out to datatrust@jhmi.edu.

How to obtain JHM data for research:

  1. Obtain or create a Data Specification describing the data to be used in the study.

    1. If requesting data from a JHM Enterprise Clinical System, contact the Core for Clinical Research Data Acquisition (CCDA) to request a Data Specification to include in the IRB application.

    2. If requesting data from an IRB-approved JHM research registry, contact the PI for the registry to request a data specification

  2. Submit the protocol to the appropriate IRB (e.g. JHUSOM eIRB or JHUSPH PHIRST)

  3. Follow additional steps as needed depending on the type of data requested

  4. Follow IRB approval
