Accessing AMR data in the repository
The data are available at no charge to researchers around the world. Interested parties must complete a data access application, which will be assessed either by the data contributor, or by IDDO’s independent data access committee (DAC), which is committed to the principles of equitable, ethical, and transparent data sharing.
To learn more about AMR data in the repository, visit the AMR data repository pages on the IDDO website. Current contributors include the International Nosocomial Infection and Control Consortium (INICC); Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan; ACORN (A Clinically Oriented Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network), and many others.
Contributing AMR data to the repository
With many funders encouraging re-use of research data, the repository offers contributors the option to expand access to qualified third-party researchers in multiple ways. Contributors may delegate decision-making authority to the DAC, or contributors may opt to retain oversight—approving or denying all requests.
The repository adheres to FAIR principles of findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability. IDDO will assign relevant digital object identifiers (DOI) to contributed datasets, which will appear in subsequent works that analyse them.
For more information about contributing data to the repository, view the ‘Work with GRAM’ pages on the IDDO website.
