DATA

 

The Utah Population Database (UPDB) is used in biomedical and health research. Pedigree and Population Resource (PPR) personnel are available to consult about research design and use of the database. This facility operates a recharge center to partially offset the fixed expenses of UPDB.

No Charge Services

  • Help with preliminary or pilot studies to determine if the data is useful for the proposed research
  • Provide estimates of charges needed for budgets

Recharge Services

  • Provide computer access and software designed specifically to aid in analysis and management of data using MS SQL database management system, SAS, pedigree tools, record linking software
  • Consult about research design and use of the database and software
  • Collaborate on research analyses

Professional Services

If one of the PPR programmer staff works on a specific project, the cost is $50 an hour.

Professional services which include research design, data analysis, and paper/grant writing by a PhD. or MS. level staff will be billed at $100 an hour.

Annual Access Fee

  • The basic charge is $300 per calendar year of use, assessed at the first request for access in that year. If you do not request data in a given year, there will be no charges for that year.
  • Projects that wish to access multi-record data sets of more than 300,000 records or have unlimited direct access to UPDB, pay $1,000 per year.
  • If the release of data is for three, the fee is $2,000 per year, which can be shared across projects.
