Writing your Data Management and Sharing Plan
Access, distribution and reuse considerations
- Did your informed consent process include language about data sharing? Are subjects able to opt-out -- and if so, how will you remove their data?
- Plan your consent forms and IRB application consistently with your data sharing plans.
- How are you protecting the privacy of your human subjects?
- What restrictions are there on your data - federal, Tribal, state laws or regulations?
- Putting a re-use license on your data will help ensure that your data is used in a way that you approve of.
- Licenses are also required by some repositories.
- Will use of your data require a Data Use Agreement?
