A project’s request for access to Panzi Bank data must be detailed in a maximum of 10 pages. It must include:

  1. Project title;
  2. Research rationale: context, frame of reference, research questions (and hypotheses where relevant) and the project’s contribution to the scientific literature;
  3. Analytical approaches and proposed methodology, ethical considerations;
  4. Detailed requirements for data use:
  • Justification for using the Panzi data bank;
  • Data requirements;
  • Period covering the required data;
  • Complete and final list of required data and variables. This can be appended. Note that adding or modifying data after project approval requires the approval of the ICART Scientific Committee (may require additional costs).


Expected results:

  • Data cross-tabulation: List of variables involved; number of tables and their dimensions; Statistical summary to support analysis; 
  • For modeling: dependent and independent variables, type of modeling or regressions.
  • Applicable weighting for data, if relevant. Software(s) used.
