Managing and Sharing Research Data From Human Participants

Managing and sharing research data from human participants

If your research involves working with people (e.g. through surveys, interviews, trials, experiments, focus groups or other methods) then it is essential to know the legal, ethical and contractual obligations you have towards research participants and how to put them into practice.

This course will outline how to collect, store, protect and share the personal data you may encounter as part of your work. Specific attention will be paid to the requirements of data protection legislation for recruiting participants and gaining consent, managing the data securely, and anonymising data so that it might be shared for future use.

This is a blended learning course comprising:

  1. Mandatory pre-course learning (ca. 80 minutes) delivered via a collection of online resources (see links below) that introduces key principles and practices. Interactive quizzes are used to help check comprehension.
  2. An interactive face-to-face session (200 minutes) where you apply your pre-course learning to real-life research project case studies. Working together in groups, you will explore the issues and risks, and present back your mitigation strategies for wider discussion to formulate optimum solutions. Expert facilitators will be on hand to provide practical guidance and support. There will also be opportunity for attendees to seek specialist advice from the expert facilitators.

Expert content creators and facilitators are drawn from the Information Governance Office; Research Governance, Ethics and Integrity; Centre for Epidemiology Versus Arthritis; Research IT; and The University of Manchester Library.

Please note:

  • Failure to complete the mandatory pre-course learning would place unnecessary burden on other participants and facilitators and would be considered un-collegial.
  • The face-to-face session is designed to be highly interactive, so you must be willing to actively participate in the group work and discussions.
