De-identified cohort data, with the constraints to match
We license de-identified, aggregate-only cohort data from consenting institutions to occupational-health and burnout researchers. Approval is gated on IRB / REB clearance, a Data Use Agreement, and a clear research question that doesn’t cross into individual-level inference.
What we can support
Burnout-prevalence longitudinal studies
Multi-institution cohort wellbeing trajectories, by role × scenario × time. Suitable for prevalence estimation, not for predictive modeling at the individual level.
Intervention effect studies
Pre/post comparison around documented institutional interventions (scheduling change, workload redesign, peer-support launch). Always cohort-level, n≥20 minimum for org-level cells.
Suppression-divergence validation
External validation of the suppression heuristic against gold-standard burnout interviews. We collaborate on protocol design and pre-registration.
Role-norm baseline tuning
Cross-cohort comparison to inform role-normed baseline ranges. Helps move our defaults from literature_default to pilot_tuned with empirical grounding.
What we will not support
- Individual-level data, identifiable or pseudonymized.
- Predictive modeling targeting individual clinicians.
- Workforce surveillance research, even framed as wellness.
- Studies where outputs could affect employment, credentialing, or insurance for individual clinicians.
- Re-identification attempts or studies designed to reverse aggregation.
What we require
IRB / REB approval
Letter or current approval certificate from your institution's research ethics board. We honor reciprocal review for accredited boards.
Data Use Agreement
Signed by your institution's research office. Includes prohibition of re-identification, secondary distribution, and any individual-level inference.
Pre-registration (preferred)
Pre-registered hypotheses, analysis plan, and stopping rules — OSF or AsPredicted. Required for studies whose findings we plan to cite.
Participant consent provenance
We confirm before release that all participating institutions have included aggregate-research consent in their onboarding.
Data residency & transfer
Data licensed to Canadian institutions remains in Canadian residency. Cross-border transfers (US, EU) follow the receiving institution’s jurisdictional rules and require an explicit transfer clause in the Data Use Agreement. We honor each participating institution’s residency selection during data preparation.
