Purpose

This article documents the process for researchers to submit a ServiceNow Workspace Configuration Request for either a new User Work Database, new Patient Cohort Delivered User Work Datamart, or update an existing Patient Cohort User Work Datamart accessed from your Enclave project workspace. Please note this is NOT the form to request access to a Digital Research data repository - details instead can be found here.

Once the request is submitted, the Digital Research Cloud Data Solutions team will reach out to you to discuss further.

b. Scroll thru the dropdown to select the appropriate active project. Once selected, your request form will be populated with the project details. If you do not see your project listed, you will need to create a new project.

To create a new project:

a. Click Yes: I require a new Project checkbox to create a new project.

b. Select the appropriate response to Does your Project research require an IRB protocol. IMPORTANT:  For projects requiring access to the Complete PDSR Curated Data Set, you must select NO. For project with access to all other data repositories, you must select YES.

c. Enter your Project Name and Project Description.

d. Search for/select the Project Lead Name by entering the First and Last name or preface with an asterisk (*). Examples: Joe Public, *Public. Please wait a second or two and select the listed name. IMPORTANT:  For projects requiring access to the Complete PDSR Curated Data Set, the Project Lead must be an RPDR Faculty Sponsor (i.e. RPDR Workgroup Leader). 

e. If your project requires an IRB Protocol, enter the approved active IRB Protocol Number. Please note: New projects without an IRB protocol will have a Project End Date set to one year from the date of project creation.
