How do I store Human Research data to protect confidentiality?
You must have plans and procedures in place to maintain the confidentiality of research records. You must include a description of your data storage methods in the protocol or the local protocol addendum you upload in eIRB+.
- Your electronic data storage plan must be consistent with NUIT Policies, Guidelines, and Practices, which can be found at http://www.it.northwestern.edu/policies/index.html.
- If you are conducting Human Research under the auspices of the Feinberg School of Medicine, you must follow Feinberg's data security policies, which can be found at http://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/it/standards-policies/index.html.
