NIAGADS recommends current and prospective users join the upcoming informational webinar to learn about updates to National Institutes of Health (NIH) controlled-access data processes, which apply to NIAGADS datasets.

The NIH published, “Required Security and Operational Standards for NIH Controlled-Access Data Repositories” (NOT-OD-25-159), standardizing data access and security standards for NIH Controlled-Access Data Repositories (CADRs) and for users of these data. These updates, among other things, enhance user authentication and standardize security expectations for users accessing NIH CADR data.

To help you prepare, the NIH Office of the Chief Information Officer and Office of Science Policy invite you to attend one of two live webinar sessions. During these sessions, experts will walk through:

  • Key updates to the data access process
  • User and institutional responsibilities
  • Steps for compliance

Who should attend?
Researchers, current and prospective NIH CADR users, institutional administrators, and IT professionals are strongly encouraged to participate.
