Once an agreement is worked out with the Coordinator, you will be required to sign a Nondisclosure Agreement. This document will define the terms and length of the agreement in writing. Only persons who have signed a nondisclosure agreement will have access to the data provided.

Requests will be fulfilled in the order they are received. The time required to complete the request will depend on the coordinator's current work load and the complexity of the request.
