Baseline questionnaire data
Researchers and policy makers can request a CD containing the latest version of data collected via the Study baseline questionnaire. These data can be used to assist with grant applications and as a resource for preparing peer review publications. The CD contains a full set of data and will be updated periodically.
Request process:
Requests are made by submitting an 'Application to use baseline questionnaire data'. To download the application form click here.
A Stage 1 application should be submitted for projects where there are plans to seek competitive funding for the project and at this stage the researcher(s) are requesting preliminary review and ‘in principle agreement’.
A Stage 2 application should be submitted for projects that already have funding and the researchers are requesting full review and approval to undertake a project using data from the 45 and Up Study.
The ‘Application to use baseline questionnaire data’ is for both Stage 1 and Stage 2 applications. More detail is required for Stage 2 applications. When researchers are ready to submit a Stage 2 application they can add this detail to the Stage 1 application they have already submitted.
Approval process:
Applications are reviewed by the Study team in the first instance, and may be referred to the Access Committee if necessary. Refer to the Study Access Policy for more information on the approval process for baseline questionnaire data.
