This pathway is for researchers and clinicians from any institution who want to conduct projects using data only from Aberdeen Children of the 1950s (ACONF) and/or data from the Aberdeen Maternity and Neonatal Databank (AMND). For projects requiring ACONF or AMND data, work is conducted within the secure Grampian Data Safe Haven (DaSH) environment.
To help you navigate the ACONF and/or AMND permission pathway and their submission requirements, we have developed a comprehensive step-by-step guide and checklist. You can find them in the download section at the top of this webpage. For a quick visual summary, check out the flowchart below.
Please note the the step-by-step process guide for ACONF and AMND datasets is designed for projects that use only these datasets and do not require any linkage to other datasets. If you need to link other datasets with ACONF and/or AMND, contact DaSH for guidance as you will need to seek permissions from the ACONF and/or AMND Steering Committees, as well as NNPAC or full (local) permissions. You will need to follow the ACONF and/or AMND step-by-step process(es) guide as well as the step-by-step processes for either NNPAC or Full (local) permissions.
