UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN – MADISON
Policy on Data Stewardship, Access, and Retention
http://www.grad.wisc.edu/research/policyrp/rpac/documents/PolicyDataStewardship.pdf
It will also be the responsibility of the Principal Investigator to follow the
requirements of any sponsored agreements with regard to access to Data.
Where necessary to assure needed and appropriate access, the Principal
Investigator, upon request of the university, must provide the university with
research Data. Under extraordinary circumstances, such as research misconduct, the
university will take all necessary steps to ensure integrity of the Data in a manner
specified by the UW Policy for Misconduct in Scholarly Research (FP&P II-314).
None of these provisions is intended to supersede the Principal Investigator's right
to keep Data proprietary until the results of the research have been published and
the aims of the research have been fulfilled.
4.4 Transfer in the Event a Researcher Leaves UW-Madison: When individuals
involved in research projects at UW-Madison leave the University or move to a
different research group or position at UW-Madison, they may, with PI approval,
take copies of research Data that they have generated or to which they have made a
substantial contribution for projects on which they have worked. Original Data,
however, must be retained at UW-Madison by the Principal Investigator.
If a Principal Investigator leaves UW-Madison, and a project is to be moved to
another institution, the Data may be transferred with the approval of the Vice
Chancellor for Research, and with written agreement from the PI's new institution
that guarantees: 1) its acceptance of custodial responsibilities for the Data, and 2)
UW-Madison access to the Data, should that become necessary.
5.0 Roles and Responsibilities: The Principal Investigator is responsible for the
stewardship and retention of research Data as well as for determinations concerning
access to and appropriate use of Data.
Other Research Contributors are responsible to cooperate with the PI in carrying
out the requirements of this policy.
The dean(s) of the school(s)/college(s) in which the PI is appointed may hear
appeals concerning issues of access to Data and determine who shall have access.
The Vice Chancellor for Research may hear appeals to a dean's determination
concerning access to Data and make a final determination. The Vice Chancellor for
Research may determine, consistent with campus policy, who is eligible to serve as
a Principal Investigator.
