IFSD follows OCAP® Principles. IFSD has requested FNIGC to provide a technical review of its tools and materials, that integrates consideration of OCAP® Principles and data governance.
The ethics review and adjudication processes of individual First Nations will be followed by IFSD.
All research collaborator data and analysis will be anonymized. First Nations serving as research collaborators will be asked to review and approve any anonymized profiles, models, or tools built based on their First Nation prior to public dissemination.
Any information that is disseminated publicly will be aggregated and/or anonymized to protect the privacy of participants.
The shared data will contribute to the development of models, tools, reports, briefings, and decision-support for stakeholders.
All data shared by First Nations will be held on password protected cloud-storage system (OneDrive). All servers associated to IFSD’s cloud-storage system are resident in Canada. Data shared will be accessible only to IFSD staff directly engaged in the project.
Research collaborators and participants can withdraw at any time. Any data shared with IFSD will be destroyed.
