AI Contract Overview

Established in January 2020, this agreement between the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control National Center for Health Statistics allows NIH-supported investigators to link research databases with the National Death Index at no cost to the researcher. Eligible participants include extramural, contract, and intramural researchers who are actively funded by the NIH and serve as the owner or steward of the research data. While investigators must follow standard NDI application and approval procedures, they are limited to four linkage requests per calendar year, and any request exceeding 100,000 dollars requires prior NIH approval. The agreement outlines specific protocols for data sharing to maintain security and privacy. Fully deidentified research datasets may be shared without additional NDI approval. Potentially re-identifiable datasets may be shared without further approval only if they are accessed via a data enclave or managed by a data repository that adheres to the same constraints, provided the original application included approval for enclave sharing.

General Info

NIH and CDC allow funded researchers free linkage to the National Death Index.

Full Description

Since January 2020, through an agreement between the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics, (NCHS), NIH will reimburse the NCHS National Death Index (NDI) for the costs of NIH-supported investigators to link their research databases with the NDI for the research aims supported by the NIH. "NIH-supported investigators" refers to extramural investigators actively funded by the NIH, contract investigators working under an active contract with the NIH, and intramural researchers employed by the NIH. These NIH-supported investigators will be able to link their research data to the National Death Index (NDI) at no cost to the NIH-supported investigator. NIH-supported investigators will continue to submit applications for NDI linkage as per current NDI procedures, and NDI will review and approve, or disapprove, these applications as per current NDI procedures. This agreement applies only to NIH-supported investigators who are actively funded by the NIH to conduct research that requires NDI linkage. To be covered under this agreement, the NIH-supported investigator must be the owner or steward of the research data to be linked to the NDI datafile. Investigators are limited to no more than 4 linkage requests in a calendar year, and any linkage requests exceeding $100,000 will require pre-approval by NIH. NDI allows fully deidentified (public access) research datasets with NDI-linked data to be shared without further NDI approval. Potentially re-identifiable datasets also may be shared without further NDI approval provided the research dataset is not transferred from one investigator to another but instead shared via a data enclave provided that the investigator obtained approval in the original NDI application to share the data via an enclave. An investigator also may share potentially re-identifiable NDI-linked research datasets with a data repository without further NDI approval provided the data repository shares the dataset on behalf of the investigator bound to the same constraints as the investigator (i.e., shared only if the dataset is fully-deidentified or shared only via a data enclave if potentially re-identifiable).
