Lurie Children’s research staff looking to obtain access to Northwestern Memorial HealthCare (NMHC) systems or clinical practice privileges to conduct research at Northwestern University or its affiliating locations (Northwestern Medical Group, Lake Forest Hospital, Central DuPage Hospital, etc.) will need to submit a request to the NMHC Research Access Program.
Resources:
- For a quick summary of processes and all available resources, view the NMHC Access instructional video.
- The first step is to contact your area’s assigned Access Program Liaison to obtain guidance on this process.
- The Access Program Manual outlines the options for level of access and the various requirements based on the level of access needed.
- Review the Frequently Asked Questions.
- If applicable, work with your liaison to complete Lurie Children’s Risk Management Trust Application to obtain a liability certificate.
Journal, e-book, and database subscriptions are managed by Northwestern University and may require a university NetID. Lurie Children’s employees can access many of these resources while on-site by using the Galter Health Sciences Library. Contact Andrea Fawcett for assistance.
Access Instructions:
- Enter the name of the resource or keywords in the search box.
- When an item of interest is located in the results list, click “online access.”
- You will be redirected to a page that asks you to sign in with your NetID.
- If you do not have a NetID, click “continue without Galter sign in.” In many cases, you will be able to access the resource.
