A Agenda March 19, 2014 Lecture Room National Academy of Sciences Building 2100 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, DC 8:30 a.m. Welcome Frank Loy, LL.B. Roundtable Chair 8:40 a.m. Workshop Overview Lynn Goldman, M.D., M.P.H. Roundtable Vice-Chair Dean, Milken Institute School of Public Health George Washington University 8:50 a.m. Session 1: Brief History and Current Legal and Executive Branch Framework for Data Sharing Objectives: Federal rule making routinely involves the use of studies in which there are questions raised about how they were prepared and the reliability of the data and the conclusions drawn. Through the Administrative Procedure Act and the process of judicial review, there is now a reasonably well- developed understanding of how agencies handle those problems and what information must be made available to the public, to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of the Office of Management and Budget, and to the courts (if judicial review is sought as it is for most significant rules). 83
84 PRINCIPLES AND OBSTACLES FOR SHARING DATA The goal of this session is to inform workshop attendees on the basic ground rules of agency decision making in this area and to set the stage for the panels that follow. Moderator: Alan Morrison, LL.B., Lerner Family Associate Dean for Public Interest and Public Service Law, George Washington University 8:50 a.m. Paul R. Verkuil, J.S.D. Chair, Administrative Conference of the United States 9:10 a.m. George Gray, Ph.D. Professor Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Director of the Center for Risk Science and Public Health Milken Institute School of Public Health George Washington University 9:30 a.m. Discussion (20 minutes) 9:50 a.m. Session 2: Benefits and Importance of Data Sharing Objectives: Most researchers and policy makers in environmental health agree that, as in other fields, research data should be shared as freely as necessary, especially when research data are underpinning regulations. Most also recognize that there need to be some limits on when and how data should be shared. The goal of this session is to clarify when, why, and how data sharing is beneficial for the researcher, the regulatory agency, the participants, and the public. The session should distinguish between sharing data for reanalysis and sharing data for facilitation of replication.

Concerns of the investigator are ensuring the right to publication and to quality control over reanalyses.
86 PRINCIPLES AND OBSTACLES FOR SHARING DATA The goal of the session is to articulate the potential administrative, ethical, financial, and public health drawbacks to data sharing.

APPENDIX A 87 The goal of this session is to identify principles, practices, and programs that could be used more widely for maximizing data sharing.
