Agreements play critical roles in protecting sensitive information, ensuring privacy, and specifying the parameters for data sharing among research entities.

  1. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement: These are designed to safeguard sensitive information related to research studies such as proprietary information, detailed descriptions of the study or experimental designs, personal information about participants, and any data that, if disclosed, could affect the privacy rights or interests of research participants or the integrity of the research process.
  2. Data Use Agreement: Data Use Agreements are formal contracts that are specifically concerned with the transfer and use of data between institutions or entities. In research involving human subjects, DUAs are critical for ensuring that data sharing complies with laws and regulations related to privacy and confidentiality, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the United States.
  3. Site Permission Template: This template serves as a guide for researchers seeking permission from a site to conduct research.
