Sensitive Research Data: Reproducibility and Sharing (Research Data Management Roundtable) Online

Do you work with participants or patients but were asked by a journal, funder, or colleague to share data? Researchers from Health Science to Social Science and beyond are navigating the technical, legal, and ethical implications of data sharing.

Join us for our final roundtable of this season Thursday, April 30, 11 AM - 12 PM on approaches for reproducibility for sensitive research data. This supports patient participants, makes research investments go further, and ensures research quality and integrity. We'll hear from invited guests about restricted access, data harmonization, available software, and working together as a disciplinary community.

Around the table this month:

  • Dipika Desai (McMaster University), Program Manager at the Population Health Research Institute who oversees the South Asian birth cohort (START), the South Asian Heart Risk Assessment (SAHARA), and the Canadian Alliance for Healthy Hearts and Minds (CAHHM)
  • Dr. Isabel Fortier (McGill University), PI for Maelstrom Research Platform which provides the international research community from diverse disciplines with resources (expertise, methods, and software) to leverage and support data harmonization and integration across studies.
  • Dr. Grant Gibson (McMaster University), Assistant Director Research & Evaluation, Canadian Research Data Centre Network; Economics Researcher, and Co-Chair of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada’s Sensitive Data Expert Group.
