SCMR Data Access Application

A. Application details
The purpose of the application is to provide the information needed by the SCMR Registry Committee to determine whether your proposed research project is feasible and aligned with the mission and priorities of the SCMR. The Registry Committee will also evaluate your proposed project for any potential overlap with other proposed or ongoing projects, and will inform you and encourage collaboration if that is the case. If you are not a contributor of data to the Registry, we recommend that you partner with one of the contributing centers in the formulation and execution of your project. A list of those centers and investigators can be found on the SCMR Registry webpage. A formal search of the SCMR Registry for relevant data will be required to complete this application. If you have not yet performed a formal search for the data required for this project, please submit a Search Request and work with the Registry Committee to execute the search and generate the information required for section A6 below.

Please fill out the following fields to provide the Registry Committee with a brief synopsis of your proposed research plan (i.e., a description of the aims, methods and intended outputs).

Please note that, if your access is approved, the Data will be used solely for the purposes outlined in the study and will not be used for any other purpose. Investigators who have been previously approved for Data use must submit a new application to conduct another study (even if subject matter is related) and receive approval from the Registry Committee and the individual sites prior to using any Data for a new project.

Applications are scored on a 9-point scale in the following fours categories:

Alignment with SCMR Mission: To improve cardiovascular health by advancing the field of CMR. OR alignment with a specific RFA.
Potential impact on the field and utilization of CMR.
Feasibility of the project based on Registry data available, work required by contributing centers, and resources available to complete the project.
Investigators: the team possesses the skills, expertise, and resources to accomplish the project.

A9. Please provide a brief lay summary of your research project in plain English, stating the aims, scientific rationale, project duration, and public health impact (up to 200 words). *

This summary will be displayed on the SCMR Registry webpage during the project and will remain up after project completion under the section entitled “Ongoing and Completed SCMR Registry Research Projects.”

A10. Will the research project result in the addition or clean up of registry data, such as advanced image analysis results, patient history data, patient outcomes data, etc., which may be of significant utility to other researchers:*

YesNo

Please list here any new data fields you anticipate will be contributed to thedatabase in the course of completing your study.*

Please note that you are required to publish (or to make publicly available) your results, and to add back to the SCMR Registry, using the provided Registry user interface, corrections and additions to the existing data, and any important derived variables, patient history, and patient follow-up data that are generated in the course of your study.

In addition, you will be required to submit to the SCMR the following:

a description of the methods used to generateany derived variables
the underlying syntax/code used to generate the main results of the paper, and
a short layman's description that summarises your findings.

These must be provided within six-months of each publication or within 12 months of the project end date (whichever comes first). We also ask that you send us a copy of your manuscript at least one-month prior to submission and alert us if there are any ethical or contentious issues surrounding the findings.

A11. Will the research project require gathering of data that requires patient identification, e.g., patient history or patient outcome data:*

YesNo

Please note that the SCMR Registry contains no PHI, and there is no possibility of reidentification of patients within the SCMR Registry database. Access to PHI can only take place at the contributing center with appropriate IRB or ethics board approvals.

A12. Please list any potential sources of bias, and how you plan to manage these.

A.13 If you wish to provide any additional supporting documentation, e.g., conference abstracts, previous publications, etc., please upload as .pdf files.
