Description of Research Data Support Services
Research Data Planning & Design
- Research Design:
- Staff will provide guidance on ensuring research meets regulatory and MSU policies.
- Staff will occasionally inquire about data collection and management to ensure human subjects protections are adequate (e.g. HIPAA, FERPA compliant). Researchers are encouraged to seek alternate data collection techniques or statistical models to minimize the number of animals and/or eliminate animal discomfort during research or teaching.
