CWD Data Warehouse Supporting Documents
All state, provincial, and tribal wildlife agencies are required to approve the CWD Data Warehouse Data Use Agreement & Terms of Use (DUA) prior to accessing and using the Warehouse. The DUA is an important document that establishes the data sharing relationship between wildlife agencies and the Cornell Wildlife Health Lab, which developed, administers, and manages the Warehouse. The DUA defines how agency data in the Warehouse can and cannot be used and establishes who can access the data and in what capacity.
The Data Security Plan describes, in more technical terms, the security measures, user management, and data management that are in place to ensure the security and appropriate use of the Warehouse and the data it contains.
The Research Approval Plan describes the process by which researchers may request and use certain data from the CWD Data Warehouse for scientific purposes.
The User Manual contains detailed information about the organization, features, and usage of the CWD Data Warehouse.
