1. What are Research Records?
Typically, research records refer to any type of records or materials that document your research effort. These can be electronic or hard copy as
in various forms of logs, notebooks, correspondence, videos, computer databases, audio or digital records, or even the actual products of
experiments.
In addition to maintaining accurate and complete research records for data analysis, all records relating to the conduct of the project are important
including those that document the management of the research funds and the intellectual property.
Although not an inclusive list, research records typically include:
Laboratory research: lab notes, notebooks, computer databases, microscopic slides, gels, images, photos, videos, laboratory equipment
printouts, and records of statistical and other data analysis.
Animal research: protocol binders with IACUC- approved protocols with all approved modifications, animal health records, surgical or
treatment records, breeding records, drug records, research data files.
Clinical trials: regulatory binders which include CHR approvals, protocols, informed consent documents, monitoring reports, adverse event
reports, and other documents pertaining to sponsors, drugs and devices. Other clinical records can include records for research data, data
analysis, audio and video tapes of subjects, images of subjects and any other type of record that can identify persons that data were
collected from.
Funding: records and correspondence relating to the grant financial records, purchasing records, scope of work, budgets, and service
records.
All correspondence with granting agencies, institutions, and collaborators.
The University of Iowa Operations Manual includes description of UI’s Records Management Program which provides definitions for different
types of UI documents and records.
