Research data governance

We let researchers use sensitive data under the terms their ethics approval sets.

Research data needs ethics approval, secure handling and reporting to funders. We tie data access to research ethics committee decisions, build secure enclaves for sensitive data and automate grant reporting from project records.

Research on people follows national research ethics rules, such as DOH research policies in Abu Dhabi and the National Committee of Bioethics in Saudi Arabia, as well as personal data law in both countries.

What the work involves

  • Ethics-linked access

    Access to each data set granted and ended in line with the ethics committee's approval.

  • Secure enclaves

    Sensitive data analysed inside a controlled environment, with outputs checked before release.

  • Grant reporting

    Funder reports produced from project, spend and output records.

Signs you are ready to start

The academic calendar decides when change can happen, so these points are best settled at least a term ahead.

  • The data sets and projects in scope are listed.
  • The ethics committee's approval records can be shared.
  • A secure environment option is agreed with IT.
