Getting Access to ODP

There are two different ways to access data about NIHR CRN Portfolio studies.

This is a public version of ODP which can be accessed without needing to create an account. This app currently consists of a searchable catalogue of non-commercial studies. In future, more features will be added to this app

In order to use ODP, you will need to register for an ODP account.
- If you have an NIHR, NHS or ‘ac.uk’ email address, you will be able to create an account using the registration link on the ODP homepage.
There are several different apps that can be accessed, each with a different focus. The Portfolio ODP app contains the most information about NIHR CRN portfolio studies.
Apps containing commercially sensitive data require extra permissions to access. If you believe that you require further access, please email odp@nihr.ac.uk for more information.

When you login, you will see the Access Point, with the ODP apps displayed. By default, you will only see 12 apps when you login the first time.

Show all apps: Click on the 12 items per page box and change it to All. You will now see all the apps!
Add Favourites: Click on the star next to the app name to add it to your favourites. Click on the Category box, select Favourites and just your favourites will show.
App Categories: Use the Category box to see different categories of apps, e.g. national, local, data cut, specialty cluster, commercial.
