CIHR

Question

I have a researcher who wants CIHR funded data that is supposedly stored at the University of Toronto. Has anyone had experience with obtaining such data?

Answer

That sounds like it would be original research data that was funded by the CIHR. Could be one of many funded proposals. My guess is that either it will be within the control of a faculty member, research group or department (especially if the data are sensitive), or perhaps a deposit made to the UoT Libraries. While there, I didn’t receive any CIHR-funded deposits but you might try contacting the RDM Working Group, who might be able to put out a message to ask internally.
