Tools to manage restricted-use data contracts & data dissemination
Our Agenda• Secure Data Services (SDS) –
The Technical Requirements• Restricted Contract & Data
Flow – The Process Map• Interacting with the System –
The Screenshots & Demo– Finding restricted data– Contracting & analyzing interface– Preview of video data
dissemination• Learnings from other SDS

Technological Requirements
From Requirements to a System
The Scope of Restricted Contract Management
• ICPSR is currently managing about 1,250 active contracts Across 500+ institutions Representing 150+ studies Approximately 25-35 new contracts per
month• Vast majority manually delivered &
tracked• 631 studies now/soon available for
electronic contracting 47 contracted studies currently in

Delivering Restricted Data Electronically
The Virtual Lab
This is the DP virtual machine Windows desktop (connected to the ICPSR data center).
This is your local computer’s desktop at your approved location.Neither content or data
can be transferred between the DP and … …your local desktop.
You cannot import programs into the DP. You cannot cut and paste or move files outside the DP.
You cannot access the Internet within the DP so using web browsers, email, and ftp is not possible.
You cannot cut & paste or move files between your computer (or anywhere else) and the DP.

Virtual Data Dissemination Challenges & Learnings
• Lots of legal issues– Your IRB or mine?– UM Counsel vs <Institution X> Counsel
• PI (Data Producer) Adoption Slow– Differing analysis review desires– Still like CD-Roms & FTP
• An altered way of analyzing for researcher/research team
• Costs to run = not consortium-esque
