Researchers must work under the supervision of an RDC Staff Analyst and only during normal working hours (Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m.– 5:00 p.m.).
Admittance to the RDC will be limited to the researchers whose names are included in the Research Proposal.
Guest Researchers will be required to show photo identification before admittance.
External researchers are not allowed to bring documents, manuals, books, etc., that may enable them to identify and disclose the confidential information they access in the RDC.
No cell phones, pagers, or other communication devices in the facilities.
Time to conduct research in the RDC can be scheduled in increments ranging from a consecutive 2-day minimum to a consecutive 10-day maximum. Extensions can be negotiated with RDC staff subject to scheduling requirements.
Researchers wishing to link data in the RDC with external data should provide the external data to RDC staff a minimum of 7 days prior to the approved date for access to the RDC.
Researchers must conduct only those analyses which have received approval. Failure to comply will result in cancellation of the research activity and potential disbarment from future research activities in the RDC. In the case where Ethics Review Board (ERB) approval is required to conduct research, RDC staff will notify relevant ERBs of infringements of protocol approvals.
