Standardized Repository Membership Agreement
The purpose of the PAIN Standardized Repository is to provide an infrastructure for storage and sharing of structural and resting state functional chronic pain data and associated biological, physiological and behavioral metadata from multiple scanning sites, as well as tools to facilitate analyses of the datasets.
I understand that as a member of the PAIN Standardized Repository I am entitled to the following benefits:
- Access to a growing collection of chronic pain imaging datasets acquired using standardized, validated acquisition protocols, as well as clinical and behavioral assessments from the PAIN Standardized Repository.
- Access to PAIN Archived Repository data, encompassing a wide range of chronic pain diagnoses and healthy controls datasets with limited metadata information.
- Newsletter highlighting new features, publications and recently added datasets.
- The opportunity to collaborate with other affiliated pain researchers from universities and research institutions from all over the world.
- Future access to the PAIN Repository Blog, an open resource linking a live community of pain investigators and promoting the exchange of pain research information.
- Future interaction with existing open-access repositories.
As a result of having access to these benefits, I agree to the following:
- I will provide standardized imaging data and accompanying metadata from at least 20 subjects per year to the PAIN Standardized Repository
- I will sign the Data Sharing Agreement before contributing data to the PAIN Repository.
- Current access to PAIN Standardized Repository data is limited to members who have contributed datasets. In the future, the PAIN Repository will be open for wider access to the pain scientific and educational community. Applications for PAIN data are reviewed by the Executive Committee to ensure investigator affiliation with a scientific or educational institution, and approved on the basis of the proposed research.
- In an effort to promote and support the PAIN Repository, I will share abstracts, and, publication links involving PAIN Repository data with the PAIN Repository.
- I have read will abide by the PAIN Repository Polices.
- I understand that the name of my institution will be listed both on the public and members-only portions of the PAIN website, and potentially in other PAIN Repository communications. To opt-out from having the institution name displayed on the public portion of the PAIN website I will send an email to info@painrepository.org and request such removal. I understand that the institution name may still appear on communications issued prior to my request, as well as the members-only portion of the PAIN Repository website.
