NIH Policy Documents and Resources
These policies are described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement (rev. 12/2003) but are provided here for convenience.
Certificates of Confidentiality protect those with access to research records from disclosing identifying information in any civil, criminal, legislative, administrative, or other Federal, State, or local proceedings. Certificates are issued only when research information is sensitive and protection is necessary to achieve the research aims while protecting confidentiality and privacy.
