    Through data use agreement examples, I will train the participants in looking for pain points in data use agreements and how to work through common roadblocks. Some examples of common roadblocks are liability/indemnification language (Does your state law allow this?); security and cybersecurity requirements (Can your university meet the requirements?); IRB requirements per data type (Do you need IRB review?); and destruction requirements (Do you need to destroy physical media? Can you?).

    Registration is open now. The webinar is scheduled to be recorded. RDAP webinar recordings are available to RDAP members through the RDAP Hub.

    Attendees will work together to capture and preserve federally-funded data that was previously publicly-available on the USAID's knowledge platform. Co-hosted by RDAP, DataFirst, and ICPSR, attendees of all skill levels are invited to join us in capturing, describing, uploading, and preserving at-risk federal data to contribute to the Data Rescue Project. For this data rescue, we will be focusing on education data collected by USAID. There will be a brief introduction to the session led by members of the Data Rescue Project Team and members of the team will be available to answer questions and provide assistance.

    Please send any questions to Tess Grynoch at past-pres@rdapassociation.org.

    ICPSR (Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research) is an international consortium of more than 800 academic institutions and research organizations. ICPSR maintains a data archive of more than 350,000 files of research in the social and behavioral sciences, including DataLumos, a crowdsourced repository for at-risk US federal government data. 

    RDAP is committed to providing an environment where all attendees can fully participate in programming and activities without fear of harassment or discriminatory behavior of any kind. The RDAP Code of Conduct applies to all spaces managed by RDAP including the Hackathon. Participation in the Hackathon indicates an acceptance of this Code of Conduct and the procedures by which RDAP resolves any Code of Conduct incidents.

    To protect participant privacy, RDAP's AI Policy will also be in effect during the Hackathon. Digital meeting participants (AI bots) will not be allowed in the Zoom room unless prior arrangements have been made with the organizer.
