need to update!
If you are reading this, then you probably want to gain access to the CCN subject database. In order to do so, you will need to follow a few easy steps so that (1) the IRB knows that you are a contributor to/user of the database, and (2) you may have physical access to the database via the SAS server. Also, you must have Filemaker Pro to access the database. If you do not have this on your computer, it is on a few computers in the TD Space on the 5th floor of Goddard, or it is cheap to buy from the Penn computer store.
- In order for the IRB to grant you approval to access the CCN subject database, you will need to contact the database administrator. The administrator will let you know that your request has been received, and when you have been given IRB approval for the database. This should only take 1-3 days.
- To gain access to the database you will need to get an Active Directory (AD) user name and password from SAS. This is a quick and painless process. Fill out the form at the address below, and you should receive an email with a user name and password within 1-3 days:
