 **Will any patient-level data shared?**
-No.  OHDSI studies produce only aggregate level statistics and analysis results.

 **How are collaborative research studies proposed?**
-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 from phenotypes to analysis method.

 **How are projects executed at local sites?**
-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.

 **How are results returned 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.
