Research Data Management Policy & Implementation Strategy

This Research Data Management Plan is designed to enable a comprehensive and co-created approach to Research Data Management with UK/DAC partners and researchers which will align and enhance Tomorrow’s Cities (TC) mission and impact. Data management goals Tomorrow’s Cities has three principal goals for research data management: • to support each city in developing its own open data infrastructure, following the roadmap in “Open Data Infrastructure for City Resilience” (UNISDR 2018); • to create a data hub outside the Hub, both to support continuity and disaster recovery and to provide a common research environment for the Hub; • to facilitate data sharing and research pooling across the consortium, but particularly “south-south partnerships”. Data use in Tomorrow’s Cities The Hub will create, collect and collate data of multiple types from multiple sources centred in the four global cities, for a number of research purposes: • detailed local mapping of hazards and vulnerability, incorporating local knowledge; • real-time monitoring of hazards, their impacts and people's responses; initialisation of predictions and models (both manual and computer-based); verification and improvement of predictions and model (to build trust in their accuracy); • characterisation of multi-hazard events; • assessing and improving risk management systems (hazard, impact, response); • reassessment and reuse of the research

Scottish Medical Imaging Service:Technical and Governance controls

Objectives The Scottish Medical Imaging (SMI) service provides linkable, population based, “research-ready” real-world medical images for researchers to develop or validate AI algorithms within the Scottish National Safe Haven. The PICTURES research programme is developing novel methods to enhance the SMI service offering through research in cybersecurity and software/data/infrastructure engineering. Approach Additional technical and governance controls were required to enable safe access to medical images. The researcher is isolated from the rest of the trusted research environment (TRE) using a Project Private Zone (PPZ). This enables researchers to build and install their own software stack, and protects the TRE from malicious code. Guidelines are under development for researchers on the safe development of algorithms and the expected relationship between the size of the model and the training dataset. There is associated work on the statistical disclosure control of models to enable safe release of trained models from the TRE. Results A policy enabling the use of “Non-standard software” based on prior research, domain knowledge and experience gained from two contrasting research studies was developed.  Additional clauses have been added to the legal control – the eDRIS User Agreement – signed by each researcher and their Head of Department.  Penalties for attempting to import or use malware, remove data within models or any attempt to deceive or circumvent such controls are severe, and apply to both the individual and their institution. The process of building and deploying a PPZ has been developed allowing researchers to install their own software. No attempt has yet been made to add additional ethical controls; however, a future service development could be validating the performance of researchers’ algorithms on our training dataset. Conclusion The availability to conduct research using images poses new challenges and risks for those commissioning and operating TREs. The Private Project Zone and our associated governance controls are a huge step towards supporting the needs of researchers in the 21st century
