Introduction to Privacy for Research Administrators: Concepts and Trends in Privacy Affecting Research. 
Jan 7 2025, 12-1PM EST. 

With so much in the news about privacy and breaches of privacy, research administrators may wish to refresh themselves on the knowledge and tools to ensure that they are mitigating risk of non-compliance with privacy requirements. Privacy law involves a patchwork of legislation, case law and enforcement mechanisms. This introductory webinar will cover the basic concepts behind privacy law, how it affects the research enterprise, examples of recent events in this evolving area of law and practical approaches to incorporating privacy compliance into the everyday consciousness of research administrators. Issues to be covered include what type of privacy training is required in research, when to put a data transfer agreement into place, what is a privacy impact assessment and when might it be needed.
