Access fee

An administrative fee will be charged before data sharing. The fee to access data for research from SCAPIS helps cover the project's running costs. Access fees are reviewed regularly. The costs are:

• 6 000 SEK + VAT per application for initiation of the application process. Please note that this initiation cost is mandatory for all applications even if the application is not approved.
• An additional cost of 45 000 SEK + VAT for access to data including up to 250 variables. For access to data of more than 250 variables an extra cost of 150 SEK + VAT per variable applied for will be added. For access to a total of 950 or more variables, a maximum fee of 150 000 SEK + VAT is applied.
• Access to register data provided directly by SCAPIS (in crude format, not derived variables) generates an additional cost of 10 000 SEK + VAT per selected register.
• If a new linkage to an external register is requested, there is an additional cost of 18 000 SEK + VAT for one register. If linkage to more than one external register is requested, the cost will increase in proportion to the additional administrative efforts required. In addition, the other involved register holders will charge their fees.
• Access to genotype data (genetics) generates an additional cost of 12 500 SEK + VAT up to 100 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms). Extra SNPs, above 100, costs 150 SEK + VAT per SNP. For access to a total of 500 or more SNPs, a maximum fee of 75 000 SEK + VAT is applied.
• Access to image data: The access fee for one application including one data typeis 45 000 SEK +VAT and for every additional data type 10 000 SEK +VAT will be added. The maximum fee will be 75 000 SEK +VAT. A maximum of 10 variables can be applied for in these applications.
• The invoice will be sent from the SCAPIS Office after handling of the application and the case is closed.
