http://www.grad.wisc.edu/research/policyrp/rpac/documents/PolicyDataStewardship.pdf
Others on campus, including certain academic staff titles, visiting scholars,
postdoctoral fellows or other trainees, and graduate or undergraduate students, who
would initiate a research project and are not themselves eligible to be a PI, must
identify a faculty member, academic staff person with permanent PI status, or other
authorized person to serve as principal investigator.
Other research contributors mean any persons other than the PI who have made a
substantial contribution to the conception and design of research, acquisition of
data, or analysis and interpretation of data. Contributors may include faculty
collaborators, academic staff, visiting scholars, postdoctoral fellows or other
trainees, research technicians, and graduate or undergraduate students. In general,
persons performing narrow technical or clerical tasks would not qualify as
contributors.
4.0 Policy: UW-Madison must retain research Data in sufficient detail and for an
adequate period of time to enable appropriate responses to questions about
accuracy, authenticity, primacy and compliance with laws and regulations
governing the conduct of the research. It is the responsibility of the Principal
Investigator to determine what needs to be retained under this policy.
4.1 Scope: The University's requirements for stewardship of the research record for
projects conducted at the University, under the auspices of the University, or with
University resources are based on regulation (OMB Circular A-110, Sec. 53), UW
System policy, and sound management principles. UW-Madison's responsibilities in
this regard include, but are not limited to:
1. Complying with the terms of sponsored project agreements
2. Ensuring the appropriate use of animals, human subjects, recombinant DNA,
disease-causing agents, radioactive materials, and the like
3. Protecting the rights of students, postdoctoral scholars, and staff, including, but
not limited to, their rights to access Data from research in which they have
participated
4. Facilitating the investigation of charges, such as scientific misconduct or
conflict of interest and
5. Support university personnel in securing and protecting intellectual property
rights.
Where research is subject to an agreement with UW-Madison that includes specific
provision(s) regarding retention of and access to Data and other records of research
conducted under the auspices of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the
provision(s) of that agreement will supersede this policy. However, University of
Wisconsin System Financial &Administrative Policies on Extramural Support
Administration (G2) Section V.B.(9) "Data" provides that "No agreement shall be
entered into with any extramural sponsor which allows for the transfer of the
ownership of data."
