basis, and the level of access provided 

to each researcher is based on the 

minimal level required that individual 

to fulfill his research role; the data will 

be backed up on a regular basis to 

safeguard against system failures or 

disasters; and, unencrypted data will 

never be stored on a laptop or on a 

movable media such as CDs, diskettes, 

or USB flash drives. 

For Paper Records: The site 

interviewers will securely store any 

hard copy forms with personal 

identifiers until they are shipped to the 

evaluation contractor via commercial 

mail services; all hard copy forms with 

personal identifying data (the 

participant agreement/informed consent 

form) will be stored securely in a locked 

cabinet that can only be accessed by 

authorized individuals working on the 

data. The locked cabinet will be stored 

in a locked office in a limited-access 

building. Additionally, permissions will 

be defined for each authorized user 

based on the user’s role on the project. 

For example, the local site interviewer 

will be able to review data for study

specific site. Study data will be 

aggregated or de-identified at the 

highest level possible for each required, 

authorized use.
