Research data collected or maintained by the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR) may be made available as shared data for research purposes. Sources of that data may include data from:

• Clinical care by a military healthcare provider.  As example:  burn information.
• Care rendered in a combat setting and stored in the Joint Theater Trauma Registry (JTTR) or a database created by one of the Combat Support Hospitals.  NOTE:  JTTR data can only be shared with government entities.
• Level 1 Trauma Accreditation requirements and stored in COLLECTOR.
• An approved protocol and stored in e.g. the Trauma Vitals Database or one of the other databases maintained by USAISR.

Investigators from outside facilities (e.g. civilian institutions) will be allowed to obtain data from this Repository with a completed Data Sharing Agreement or a completed preparatory research request.  These investigators must be compliant with the institution's Institutional Review Board (IRB) standards for protecting subject confidentiality and must complete a Data Sharing Agreement with the USAISR.  Only de-identified information will be shared with a preparatory research request.
