<Data Classification and Security Matrix to be inserted here>

The Yale Center for Research Computing (YCRC) will evaluate the proposal and:

-If compliant, the IRB will receive confirmation that “the proposed use of digital data for research purposes by [Yale PI] is consistent with guidelines provided for information security in Yale’s Research Data Policy as it relates to Human Research Data”.

-If not compliant, you will be contacted by the YCRC and asked to resubmit the security plan.
