Developing Ethical Frameworks For Community Research Data

How can data management plans be conversations that build trust? Can community research participants take on stewardship for research data? This presentation will report back on the now-developed Community Research Data Toolkit (https://doi.org/https:/doi.org/10.71548/7mp6-fn45). Following a hackathon-style workshop, it was built collectively by and in conversation with community engagement workers, social justice advocates, organization representatives, librarians, research data management professionals, and researchers.

This resource is a plain-language introduction for communities and the organizations and researchers who collaborate with them to concepts of research data management—such as data management plans and data deposit.

.It is also a kit of tools – frameworks, templates, and examples: └── Community protocols to discuss roles and responsibilities for data governance └── Conversational and approachable data management plan templates and examples └── Data deposit support structures for a range of long-term access situations: ├── Data Access Committee terms of reference and example text for restricted data ├── Data Access Terms and Data Use Agreements for data with terms and criteria ├── Explanations of open licensing and a curation log for community research data.

With emerging funder and journal requirements for data management planning and sharing, Community-Based research projects require ethical purpose-built systems for their data. We will give a walkthrough of the tools and guidance for discussion with our IASSIST community. We’ll also discuss our process of involving community organizations and the Office of Community Engagement in the creation and review of the toolkit.
