Sensitive Research Data Training

Hi all,

Please review the message below from Karen Kim, Vice Provost for Research.

To support you in your research and academic work, the University is offering the following training sessions to address privacy policies and University processes for managing sensitive research data. These sessions are of particular importance for faculty and staff whose research involves sensitive research data, which are data protected by local, state, or federal laws such as HIPPA, PII, PHI, FERPA, and others, or that is contractually bound to restrictions. (Please note this is not an all-inclusive list of restricted data types.) The training will be offered remotely via Zoom. It is strongly recommended but not required that you attend each session. Please note that this training is not in lieu of obligatory training for the Biological Sciences Division and UChicago Medicine privacy and HIPPA trainings. 

Please share this information with your research staff. If you have any questions, please contact Steven Aldape at saldape@uchicago.edu
