Description of Collaborative Activity: |
National Institute of Aging (NIA) has an Inter-Agency Agreement (IAA) to assist grantees with accessing Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data. It is anticipated that this initiative will create a more user-friendly and more cost-efficient means for grantees to access CMS data, especially the need to access Part D data. Specifically, this agreement gives CMS's Privacy Board justification to release Part D data to NIA grantees with Data Use Agreements. Researchers pay for data use. This includes activities for remote access data enclave. |
