Emerging Trends in Research Data
| Date and Time: | Friday, October 11, 2024, noon-1pm PST |
| Location: | Virtual |
|
Guest Speakers: |
Eric Giegerich, Director, UC Berkeley IPIRA Industry Alliances Office (IAO) UC Berkeley Intellectual Property and Industry Research Alliances (IPIRA) | Send or Receive Data or Materials |
Research data has grown substantially in volume and prominence in recent years. Data is not only ubiquitous, but a new proficiency is now expected. Yet emerging regimes and contractual requirements for data security, privacy, management, and sharing have seen a parallel skyrocketing growth rate. The result is that despite its prevalence, data has become harder to receive, use, secure, and share. In this discussion, we will explore these emerging trends as well as what the university is doing, and what researchers can do, to overcome these challenges and get started on the research.

How the UC Research Data Policy Supports the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy
| Date and Time: | Friday, October 6, 2022, 12pm |
|
Guest Speaker: |
Agnes Balla, Research Policy Manager, Research Policy Analysis and Coordination (RPAC), UC Office of the President Research Policy Analysis and Coordination (RPAC) | UC Office of the President |
Research data are the currency of the intellectual capital that advance the research enterprise. The value of research data in advancing academic scholarship is increasingly apparent. Many research funders support making research results openly available to stimulate further research, innovation and discovery, and impose obligations on award recipients to maintain and share results of the funding. For example, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) expect grantees to submit data management plans for making information available to others.
Both investigators and research institutions have rights and responsibilities with respect to research data. Come learn about the UC Research Data Policy, and how this policy supports the NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy.
Agnes Balla is a Research Policy Manager within the Research Policy Analysis and Coordination (RPAC) unit of UC Office of the President. In her current position, she works collaboratively with others across multiple content areas to develop written guidance translating complex regulatory requirements into practical operational terms, particularly on topics related to human subjects research, data access and management, and cannabis research. She has written systemwide guidance documents and produced resources pertaining to the Common Rule, the NIH single IRB mandate, the NIH management data sharing policy, safeguarding information protected by federal Certificates of Confidentiality placed in the medical record, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, cannabis research requirements, and California state laws on surrogate consent and prisoner research, among others. Prior to this role, Agnes worked for the Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, where she developed recommendations for the integration of mental health and substance use disorder services into combined behavioral health services. Agnes received her undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley in Public Health and her Master of Public Policy from Johns Hopkins University.

Introducing the Secure Research Data and Compute (SRDC) Platform
| Date and Time: | Friday, November 13, 2020, 12pm |
|
Guest Speakers: |
Chris Hoffman, Associate Director of Research IT |
In this presentation and discussion, we will describe the SRDC Platform, a new research computing and data management platform for researchers working with highly sensitive data, that brings together high performance computing (HPC), virtual machines, and large data storage and movement. Research IT consultants work with researchers to help determine the security that is required for their research data and project, and can help steer researchers to the appropriate systems and resources, including the SRDC Platform.
Data and Privacy: FERPA and Recruiting Research Subjects
| Date and Time: | Friday, November 6, 2020, 12pm |
|
Guest Speakers: |
Scott Seaborn, Interim Campus Privacy Officer |
As researchers in higher education look to capitalize on the vast treasure trove of student data held by universities, it is important to pause and consider the implications of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) on student data sets. In some ways, FERPA is more restrictive than other privacy laws such as HIPAA, and in other ways it is less restrictive. Campus Privacy Officer, Scott Seaborn, will discuss the implications of FERPA on research in higher education and provide some tools to help researchers ensure that their studies comply with FERPA.
