Individual Research Projects Clause Samples

Individual Research Projects. CiNA Deluxe is the primary file used to create datasets for specific ad hoc research projects. NAACCR also has special datasets, such as CiNA Survival, which can be provided to approved researchers for specific, approved projects. Access to these data requires a submission of a proposal for review and approval by the NAACCR Research Application Review Work Group (RApR). RApR reviews the applications for scientific merit and appropriateness of using CiNA data. If approved by RApR, the proposals then must be approved by the NAACCR IRB. If approved by NAACCR IRB, Consent is requested from all registries eligible for participation in each study. A dataset is created for the Researcher that only includes data from registries that agreed to include their data through the consent process. After all approvals are in place, but before receiving access to the file, all recipients must sign a Data Confidentiality Agreement for NAACCR Researchers (See Attachment B). A list of all recipients is maintained in the NAACCR Executive Office. The NAACCR IRB monitors all projects annually on the anniversary date of the project IRB approval. Copies of the NAACCR IRB procedures, forms, and meeting minutes are located on the NAACCR Website ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/irb-information-for- cina/When the studies are completed, researcher access to the SEER*State file is terminated. CiNA datasets are password protected and may not be accessed by anyone other than approved researchers. All manuscripts for publication resulting from the analysis are reviewed and approved by the NAACCR Scientific Editorial Board before release. For projects requiring IRB Approval, researchers must also seek approval of the manuscript by the IRB. The IRB ensures the researcher publishes the data in accordance of the current DUA and assurances agreements.
