NSF/SRS Restricted–Use Data Procedures Guide
The Restricted-Use Data Procedures Guide is available in MS Word and Adobe PDF formats. Persons interested in obtaining restricted use data must complete and return information requested in Appendices C, D, E, and F of the Guide. Both format types allow users to enter responses in the form fields and print the completed forms, however responses can be saved electronically only in MS Word and Adobe Acrobat Professional. Responses cannot be saved using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Users can then sign the printed forms where appropriate and submit the documents to SRS. For users who want to print blank forms, please use the PDF version. For additional information regarding the data license process please contact: Adrian McQueen, 703-292-7807, amcqueen@nsf.gov.
