Modeling Consortium Data Use Agreement
**The Modeling Consortium is no longer accepting new requests for access to data through this DUA.**
Launched in 2021 to inform COVID-19 decision-making, the UC-CDPH Modeling and Advanced Analytics Consortium (Modeling Consortium) brought together UC investigators and California public health leaders to help inform public health policy and decision-making. The Consortium implemented the first-ever UC-CDPH data use agreement and created a data-sharing pipeline for accessing statewide COVID-19 data.
About the data
Through the COVID-19 DUA, UC investigators accessed CDPH statewide COVID-19 data, including data on laboratory testing, deaths, facilities, locations, and vaccinations.
The CDPH COVID Data Dictionary (Excel) provides additional information about the data included in the datasets.
Working with the data
All analysis of CDPH data must remain in UCSF's Research Analysis Environment (RAE).
Import / Export
Investigators have the ability to import and export files through RAE. This includes:
- Importing companion data sets into RAE to support your analysis work.
- Exporting your results, graphs, algorithm outputs.
- Please note: You still cannot export the CDPH datasets in accordance with the program attestation. All analysis of the CDPH data must remain in RAE.
