this type of data, we are also working to provide some additional context around the intended use. Framing the request as part of an economic study may help increase participation (i.e., the registry agreement has a provision indicating that the registry
will cooperate and provide data for economic studies), as well as helping to address the legal concerns around compilations of pricing data. Establishing the broader context for the exercise should also help make the case for this investment.
