OVPR Data Use Agreements

Data Use Agreements (DUAs) are legally binding contracts between the George Washington University (GW) and another executing party that provide the terms for transferring data from the provider organization to the recipient organization. GW can either be the provider or the recipient of the data.

The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) within the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) must review and approve all DUAs.

Risk Assessment

GW IT Information Security Services team is responsible for establishing and maintaining policies and conducting risk assessments to ensure that George Washington University has a secure information technology environment. GW departments and projects can request or be asked to undergo a risk assessment for their information resources.  For more information on security assessments and how to request one, please refer to GW IT Security.
