Data management and data security are critical. While research and practice partners are used to thinking about data management and security practices within their own organizations, the transfer and sharing of data is more complicated when working across entities, especially those with different methods for storing, organizing, transferring, and securing data.
In general, RPPs often address data security through protocols that limit access to certain individuals and for specific purposes. Mature partnerships report that FERPA and HIPPA guidelines should be the floor, not the ceiling, for protecting privacy.
