The FNL staff will communicate with all relevant stakeholders. In addition to ensuring the request system is working, the FNL staff will ensure any questions by requesters are answered, requests are reviewed and all decisions are communicated appropriately and in a timely fashion.

Data Governance Advisory Board.

Composed The DGAB is composed of 4 external members (from ICDC Steering Committee), 2 NIH members (1 of which is from CBIIT) and supported by FNL staff. The DGAB will be chaired by a non-NIH member of ICDC Steering Committee. The DGAB will meet at least quarterly to review and adjudicate on all open and complete requests. They will use documented evaluation criteria to determine if a request is approved or declined. The DGAB will also determine the evaluation criteria (which will include considering scientific value of data for the ICDC) and may adjust those criteria. The DGAB is also responsible for providing input on the development and maintenance of data life cycle considerations.  The DGAB Chair will be responsible for ensuring each meeting has an agenda, defining if a quorum is present, confirming evaluation criteria are current, and ensuring discussions are unbiased. The DGAB Chair will also report to the ICDC Steering Committee the summary status of all data requests. Since the ICDC is a node in the Cancer Research Data Commons (CRDC), data requests may involve considering other CRDC components (for example, the CRDC-H data model or the Cancer Data Aggregator). The CBIIT representative will be responsible for representing CRDC considerations in discussing requests and in development and maintenance of any relevant evaluation criteria. DGAB meetings will not require in-person attendance.   The DGAB may decide, from time-to-time, that reprioritization of studies is necessary and will suggest such changes to the SAC.

FNL will manage the request process, ensure the evaluation criteria are made public and are current, ensure there is a tracking system, and monitor status for all requests. They will provide the DGAB reports on complete and open requests on a quarterly basis. They will document the data priority decisions made by the DGAB and provide those to the NCI. FNL staff will communicate NCI's inclusion decisions to the relevant stakeholders. FNL staff will also contribute to the generation of the evaluation criteria, contribute to development of data lifecycle policy, track any data lifecycle parameters assigned to a set of data, and provide summary data on requests and data life cycle status. The FNL staff will provide logistics support for the DGAB review sessions, including setting up meetings and ensuring all data priority decisions are documented.
