Your Data & the IRB
Spring Series 2025
February 25, 2025
This webinar provided guidance on managing research data in compliance with Institutional Review Board (IRB) and university policies. Led by experts from IU Research Data Commons, SecureMyResearch, and IU’s Human Research Protections Program (HRPP), the session covered key policies such as data governance, institutional data management (DM-01, DM-02), and third-party assessments. Panelists highlighted resources available to help researchers navigate data privacy, security, and compliance requirements, including IU’s SecureMyResearch initiative, which offers consulting, advocacy, and a self-service "Cookbook" with security best practices. The webinar also introduced tools for evaluating software and services, understanding research data sharing policies, and ensuring compliance with institutional and federal regulations. Participants were encouraged to leverage one-on-one consultations and online knowledge bases for additional support.
