Information for Researchers

Non-criminal justice agencies and organizations seeking to access Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) for a valid educational, scientific, or other purpose must submit a research application to the DCJIS

All research organizations approved for research purposes must comply with applicable laws and regulations, including 803 CMR 8.00 et. seq. Any individual that will access CORI on behalf of an organization approved for research must complete an individual agreement of non-disclosure. The principal researcher is responsible for retaining these non-disclosure agreements.
