Data access

Applications for access to research data and biometric material are processed by the data and biobank comitee according to our guidelines. Upon approval, you enter into an agreement with UiT Norway's Arctic University regarding the release and use of research data for a given period of time. This also includes the right to publish articles. If you need data access beyond the agreed time period, you may apply for an extension. Disclosure and use of FF data must contribute to increased knowledge about young people's lifestyle and health. Data transfers and use must be according to our guidelines and in line with the project's own description (protocol). The project must attach or post any necessary approvals, for example from the Regional Ethics Committee (REK).

The application must be complete before the data and biobank committee processes it, and must contain:

• application form
• list of desired variables
• analysis plan on how you will use the variables, for example outcome measures, exposure and adjustment variables. The analysis plan can be part of the protocol or a separate document
• project description/protocol with publication plan
• REK-approval, if required
• data processing plan on how you plan to handle data in the project. The information in the data processing plan may be part of the protocol, other documents in the application or a separate document

Submit the application and attatchments by email to fitfutures@uit.no

Applications must be submitted at least two weeks before the next data and biobank committee meeting in order to be processed at the meeting.
