Sharing of the Fernald Community Cohort Data and Biospecimens

The availability of the data and biospecimens of the Fernald Community Cohort for future research studies has been communicated by presentations at various scientific meetings and through listing on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Research investigators interested in using the FCC database and samples for health-related research may apply for Access to Data and/or Biological Specimens. If approved by the Research Director, with the advice of the Fernald Community Cohort Advisory Committee, data files from the FCC database or archived samples (frozen whole blood, serum, plasma and urine) may be distributed to qualified researchers.

Any individual or group desiring access to the FCC database or archived samples for purpose of conducting a research study must first submit an application to the FCC Research Director, Dr. Susan M. Pinney, who, in turn, will first obtain input from the Fernald Community Cohort Advisory Committee. Pdf files of the FMMP Access to Data and Specimens Policy are below.
