- Type of data is being collected;
- If it is identifiable data;
- At what point the data is de-identified;
- If the data includes private health information
While some data collection is excluded from the definition of human subjects research, Investigators should still submit a protocol in Kuali to receieve a formal determination that their data collection project is Not Human Subjects Research.
