NHMRC Principles for accessing and using publicly funded data for health research

Thursday, January 21, 2016

The NHMRC released the Principles for Accessing and Using Publicly Funded Data for Health Research (the Principles) in January 2016. The Principles provide a framework for researchers and data custodians to consider when requests or applications are made for access to existing publicly funded datasets for the purposes of research. The Principles should be read in conjunction with the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007), the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research and other policies and legislations.
