About Us
Over the past decade, the research community has witnessed an evolution in the availability and generation of research data. In parallel, external sponsors and publishers have increasingly introduced more rigorous requirements for researchers to share supporting research data with the broader scientific community. As a result, researchers must navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment to ensure research data are managed, utilized, and shared responsibly and in accordance with third party obligations, privacy regulations, and University policies related research data. The Research Data Compliance team offers a variety of administrative support services for investigators and research staff of the HMS/HSDM research community.
