7. What should one do prior to signing the Data Sharing Agreement?

  1. Review the Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) and its policies and procedures available on the CDII website so you are aware of your organization’s obligations once you sign the DSA. The DSA and its policies and procedures are final drafts that were developed alongside a wide variety of stakeholders and were previously available for public comment. Neither the DSA nor the policies and procedures are open for negotiation.
  2. Determine who at your organization is authorized to sign the DSA on behalf of the organization.
  3. Determine if there are subordinate entities or facilities for which the authorized person would like to sign.
