Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I submitted my individual application a while ago. Why hasn't it been approved?
Individual applications for access to the data must be verified by representatives from your university. The CRITICAL team cannot approve your access without review from your institutional representatives.
I need to download the data again after my 30 days of access expired. What should I do?
If you are still at the institution that approved your initial access to the data, you can request access to the data again by emailing critical@northwestern.edu from your institutional email account.
If you have moved to a new institution, you will need to submit a new application as part of your new institution’s DUA.
I am an instructor. Can I use the dataset in my class?
Yes. You and each student in your class must submit an application for access to the data. You may not directly distribute the data to your students.
