  • International Activity

    Introduction Stanford's commitment to providing a safe environment for everyone creates particular requirements for PIs in research laboratories. Labs at Stanford house chemicals, equipment, and other materials that can pose hazards to health. The proper management of these hazards is not only good lab management, it is also a regulatory requirement. Compliance and Operational Support Register

  • Manage Research Data

    Introduction FAIRport Guiding Principles drive the University’s scientific data management. Make sure you understand the type of data you want to share or exchange. Your proposal may require a data management plan and your award may need a data use agreement. Sharing data Stanford provides guidance and resources for research data acquisition, sharing and management. Some data is subject to

    Protect Your Computing Devices When Traveling Internationally

    When you travel internationally, the safeguards provided by the Stanford University computing environment are not available. Important data on devices such as laptops, notebooks, iPads, smart phones, MP3 players, thumb drives, SD cards, SIM cards, cameras must be properly protected. Furthermore, if you travel to countries that are known for computer and network-based espionage (e.g., network

    Put in Place a Data Use Agreement

    A data use agreement (DUA) is an agreement that is required under the Privacy Rule and must be entered into before there is any use or disclosure of a limited data set (defined below) to an outside institution or party. A limited data set is still protected health information (PHI), and for that reason, covered entities like Stanford must enter into a data use agreement with any recipient of a
