Abstract: CDC requests to extend data collection. Researchers apply to use the National Death Index (NDI) to determine whether persons in their studies have died and to obtain information on the decedents' states, dates of death, death certificate numbers, and causes of death. The administrative forms are completed by researchers in order to apply for NDI services and to submit their study subjects' records for computer matching against the NDI file.
