Higher Education Regulated Workshop Series: A Collective Perspective

After an eight month effort concluding in June of 2021, 155 participants from 84 research institutions from across the United States gathered our six facilitated, NSF-sponsored workshop sessions to determine if coming together as a community could improve the support of individual programs to secure regulated data in research involving the Department of Defense or health sciences.

Our report represents the collective perspective of those who participated in the workshop series and the efforts of volunteer authors who helped put it together. The primary aim of the document is to identify challenges, share best practices, and provide recommendations to the community on how to handle regulated research data on campus.

The report was co-authored by contributors from Purdue University, Duke University, University of Florida, Indiana University, Case Western Reserve University, University of Central Florida, Clemson University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and University of South Carolina.
