11. What existing ethical frameworks, 

such as those from professional 

organizations 64 or government 

agencies,65 should be considered when 

drafting national-level ethical guidelines 

for research with pervasive data? 

a. To what extent do existing 

frameworks apply to the collection and 

use of pervasive data? 

b. What modifications of existing 

frameworks might be necessary to 

ensure that those frameworks are 

applicable to the needs of research with 

pervasive data? 

12. What are the existing 

requirements and legal obligations that 

impact research with pervasive data? 

a. What are the risks around research 

that uses pervasive data, if any, that 

currently fall beyond the usual 

considerations of IRBs operating under 

the Common Rule or FDA regulations? 

b. What steps can be taken to ensure 

that potential new guidelines for 

research with pervasive data 

complement the existing regulatory 

framework for human subjects research? 

c. How can research ethics guidelines 

be either integrated into existing 

workflows (such as IRB review 

processes) or given new workflows to 

ensure research is performed ethically 

and in a manner that protects individual 

privacy and other rights? 66

d. To what extent do state laws, 

federal laws, or other legal obligations 67

create uncertainties, barriers, or 

appropriate protections for: 

i. Online service providers to 

voluntarily share pervasive data with 

researchers? 

ii. Data intermediaries’ ability to store 

and provide access to pervasive data? 

iii. Researchers’ ability to collect and 

analyze pervasive data? 

e. How are researchers constrained by 

provisions in online service’s terms of 

service, such as online services’ general 

end-user agreements or the terms 

associated with APIs and other 

researcher access programs? 68

f. Pervasive data can include data 

subjects that reside outside of the U.S. 

and are therefore subject to different 

laws.69 In what ways do international 

and foreign laws create uncertainties or 

barriers for: 

i. Online service providers to 

voluntarily share pervasive data with 

researchers? 

ii. Data intermediaries’ ability to store 

and provision access to pervasive data? 

iii. Researchers’ ability to collect and 

analyze pervasive data? 

13. What structured processes 

(questionnaires, rubrics, assessment 

frameworks) could be used to determine 

which techniques should be used to 

mitigate risks to data subjects and 

society in research that relies on 

pervasive data? 70

14. How should ethical guidelines 

take into account future technological 

advances around research with 

pervasive data?
