Recommends and leads implementation of improved processes, policies, and systems to ensure data security and data provenance. Oversees the process of depositing data in repositories. Provides guidance on the selection of the appropriate repository and any data governance requirements. For multiple study teams, provide guidance on the use of data standards. Provides training and oversight into EDC creation using appropriate data standards. For studies reporting to the FDA, coordinate the CDISC and CDASH data standard setup and the CDISC dataset transformation tasks. Performs de-identification on allowable data to Safe Harbor standards, or on consented data leaving Duke under agreements. Could serve as a Federated Honest Broker. May provide training to others. Serves as an expert resource to multiple study teams/research program with regard to mapping data flow. Predicts areas of vulnerability in the data flow plan. Determines areas where data provenance may be compromised, and helps study teams/research program staff work through solutions. Ensures that study teams are familiar with data flow resources at Duke. Seeks out, integrates, and applies new technical knowledge towards innovation and performance improvement for multiple research teams/research program, as relevant. Develops, oversees adherence, and trains to multiple study teams on the results reporting for patients and providers. Provides guidance based on CRU and institutional best practices.
