Before we prepare and sign a Data Transfer Agreement with your institution, please download and complete the COVID-19 Publication Dataset Access Statement of Work Document according to the instructions below. Note that you should not sign the document at this stage, and there are some fields that you should not complete.
If you are collaborating with investigators at multiple institutions and those institutions must also receive copies of 23andMe summary statistics, please have a PI from each institution submit a dataset access request to ensure all parties receive access to datasets within a similar timeframe. Collaborators should only send the request via email if they cannot access the 23andMe COVID-19 Publication Dataset Access Request Form.
When you have completed the required fields in the form, please download the SOW as a PDF and send it to dataset-request@23andMe.com, with the subject line: [PI's Last Name — COVID-19 Publication Dataset Access]. A member of our Research Team will respond to let you know when your form is approved.
