Researcher Perspectives on Data Sharing

The purpose of this project is to investigate Alberta clinical and health researcher practices and perspectives about data sharing, governance and re-use within a broader political, legal, economic, ethical and social context. The project has potential legislative and public policy implications and will add a unique Canadian contribution to the growing literature on data governance and data sharing practice studies. The study will also inform the development of a researcher-centered data curation and repository services affiliated with the co-sponsoring agencies: the Alberta Centre for Child, Family & Community Research and University of Alberta Libraries.
