DVS Workshop: Managing Sensitive Data

In the course of your research you may collect, interact with or analyze data that are classified as "Sensitive" or "Restricted" according to Duke's data classification standard. In this workshop we will examine common sensitive data types, how Duke's IRB and Information Technology Security Office (ITSO) expects you to protect that data throughout your project's lifecycle and the resources available to you for sensitive data storage and analysis. We will also discuss data de-identification methods and resources, and where data with access restrictions can be archived to comply with data sharing mandates from funders and journal publishers.
