Recommended Informed Consent Language for Data Sharing


Question

Does Statistics Canada have language for researchers using confidential (enclave) data in describing data curation/sharing/dissemination when preparing their grant applications?

Answer

The FAQ for the RDC Program largely addresses the question: http://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/rdc/faq

Also, colleagues recommended adopting some of the language from ICPSR's Recommended Informed Consent Language for Data Sharing: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/datamanagement/confidentiality/conf-language.html.
