How do I add or remove a data user on my approved data request?

If you need to add or remove data users, submit a request through our SPARCS Support ticket system

Please include the following:

1. SPARCS application request #
   1. For new user(s) include (First/Last Name; Organization; Research Role) & completed DUA (DOH-5131-IA form) 
   2. For removing user(s), include (First/Last Name; Organization; Research Role). Adding or removing users does not require a DOH-5132 submission.
   3. There should be an updated project director listed at all times. If there is a change in project directors, a new amendment must be submitted to reflect that change. 

Users are only approved upon confirmation from the SPARCS program. You'll need to wait for the SPARCS decision before giving the user internal access to your approved SPARCS data.

Note: Individuals who will have access to the raw dataset(s) or data output(s) that do not follow the small cell size policy should be listed and sign individual DUAs. This can include external research partners, contractors, and information technology (IT) staff. IT staff who maintain the technology environment and are not direct data users do not need to sign Individual DUAs.
