-Proposals may be submitted by any named collaborator in the OHDSI consortium. ​ The submission process involves posting a preliminary overview and protocol to the [[research:​protocols_in_development|Protocols in Development]] page.   A notification of this posting should also be made on the [[http://​forums.ohdsi.org/​c/​researchers|OHDSI ​Reseachers ​Forum]]. ​ The study proposal is then reviewed by the community. ​ This review period, typically 2-3 weeks, will determine level of interest as well as generate suggestions for modification to the study design.+Proposals may be submitted by any named collaborator in the OHDSI consortium. ​ The submission process involves posting a preliminary overview and protocol to the [[research:​protocols_in_development|Protocols in Development]] page.   A notification of this posting should also be made on the [[http://​forums.ohdsi.org/​c/​researchers|OHDSI ​Researchers ​Forum]]. ​ The study proposal is then reviewed by the community. ​ This review period, typically 2-3 weeks, will determine level of interest as well as generate suggestions for modification to the study design.

-Projects are executed via SQL and/or R code.  In order to make projects runnable at multiple sites running ​differenet ​database dialects (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle, Postgres), we employ a tool called SqlRender. ​ A great way to learn about how these studies are written is to review an [[https://​github.com/​OHDSI/​StudyProtocols/​tree/​master/​Study%201%20-%20Treatment%20Pathways|example study]] on GitHub as well as the SqlRender documentation. ​ Also feel free to contact us at the user forums.+Projects are executed via SQL and/or R code.  In order to make projects runnable at multiple sites running ​different ​database dialects (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle, Postgres), we employ a tool called SqlRender. ​ A great way to learn about how these studies are written is to review an [[https://​github.com/​OHDSI/​StudyProtocols/​tree/​master/​Study%201%20-%20Treatment%20Pathways|example study]] on GitHub as well as the SqlRender documentation. ​ Also feel free to contact us at the user forums.

 Each study needs a study coordinator who will serve as the contact point. ​ Results-- which should be both de-identified and aggregate-- should be returned to this individual. ​ They are then responsible for organizing and analyzing data with the study leadership team for publication and sharing back to the OHDSI community. Each study needs a study coordinator who will serve as the contact point. ​ Results-- which should be both de-identified and aggregate-- should be returned to this individual. ​ They are then responsible for organizing and analyzing data with the study leadership team for publication and sharing back to the OHDSI community.
