The Defense Health Agency (DHA) Privacy and Civil Liberties Office (DHA Privacy Office) oversees the protection of personally identifiable information, including protected health information, within the DHA and safeguards its use and disclosure.  The goal of the Research Streamlining Initiative is to make the DHA Privacy Office data sharing process more efficient when data managed by DHA (DHA data) is sought for the purpose of conducting research, while still maintaining uniform and compliant Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act reviews of data requests.  The expected outcome is a decrease in the amount of time required to obtain a Data Sharing Agreement.
