Example wording in ANDS Publishing and Sharing Sensitive Data guide e.g.
“Other genuine researchers [may] have access to this data only if they
agree to preserve the confidentiality of the information as requested in
this form.”

New versions of National policies National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 3.1.50 In the absence of justifiable ethical reasons (such as respect for cultural ownership or unmanageable risks to the privacy of research participants) and to promote access to the benefits of research, researchers should collect and store data or information generated by research projects in such a way that they can be used in future research projects. Where a researcher believes there are valid reasons for not making data or information accessible, this must be justified. Code for Responsible Conduct of Research Principles of responsible research conduct: P3 Transparency in declaring interests and reporting research methodology, data and findings Share and communicate research methodology, data and findings openly, responsibly and accurately.

- 6. Consent for data sharing • Topics that can be covered in Data Management Plan/Participant info • Governance • Access – during and once project is complete • Use and reuse • Privacy • 3.1.31 In any information provided to potential participants during the consent process, researchers should include information on data management and storage • Data that is re-used still needs to comply with original consent – therefore consent conditions need to be documented - metadata • Options for participants? • Levels of aggregation or identifiability
- 7. Mediated access • Not all data that is shared is open • F.A.I.R. data • Findable • Accessible • Interoperable • Reusable • Five Safes risk management framework • Safe projects: is the use of the data appropriate? • Safe people: can the users be trusted to use it in an appropriate manner? • Safe settings: does the access facility limit unauthorised use? • Safe data: is there a disclosure risk in the data itself? • Safe outputs: are the statistical results non-disclosive?
- 8. Consent for data sharing 3.1.36 If researchers are planning to add data obtained in a research project to an open or mediated access repository or make the data or materials available for re-use, any implications of these plans should be provided to participants. The use of ‘extended consent’ or ‘unspecified consent’ (see 2.2.14 to 2.2.16) may be appropriate for this purpose. 2.2.14 (b) ‘extended’: given for the use of data or tissue in future research projects that are: (i) an extension of, or closely related to, the original project; or (ii) in the same general area of research (for example, genealogical, ethnographical, epidemiological, or chronic illness research); (c) ‘unspecified’: given for the use of data or tissue in any future research. 2.2.15 Extended or unspecified consent may sometimes need to include permission to enter the original data or tissue into a databank or tissuebank. 2.2.16 When unspecified consent is sought, its terms and wide-ranging implications should be clearly explained to potential participants. When such consent is given, its terms should be clearly recorded. 3.1.37 When researchers seek consent to collect information that is considered to be of historical, cultural or other long term value, they should obtain consent for its perpetual retention, including any planned re-use and sharing with others.
