IRB Security Review and Training
OASIS support guidelines
OASIS will support to the best of its ability issues concerning the data security of College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) IRB research for which an OASIS support person is listed as a technical contact. This means being available to answer questions in a timely manner, and escalating to appropriate campus entities when necessary in accordance with IRB and Minimum Security Standard (MSS) guidelines.
OASIS will make no requests of you or your data that would put you in violation of data security standards for your IRB-approved research.
