Data Request Process
Data Requests and questions about OPUS queries are tracked and monitored by the Data Management Support (DMS) Team using Salesforce. After you submit a data request or send a question to the team via email, you will receive an automated New Case notification that will include the case number for your request or question. A member of the DMS Team will reach out within 1-2 business days to provide an estimated turnaround time and to ask any clarifying questions regarding the scope of your request. Once the case is resolved, you will receive a closed case notification via email.
The DMS Team endeavors to complete all data requests within 5-10 business days from submission for any normal request. Turnaround time may be longer during peak reporting periods, for complex requests, or for any requests that require special research. If your request is time sensitive, then please be sure to let us know when results are needed and to explain the impact of any delays.
