| No | Yes, performed by NIAMS staff. | No | Collaborators strip all personal info from data prior to submission to LONI. Then LONI auto filters again, to ensure that there are no PHI in the files (especially if the data is binary) and stores the data in quarantine, until it’s approved for posting to the web interface. | PHI must be removed by the submitting institution prior to giving the data to the FBIRN. FBIRN also performs a review to make sure there aren't any de-identification problems. | Yes, performed by Lung Cancer Alliance | Yes, performed by the Optical Society of America | Yes, some QC performed by Kitware staff and peer reviews. Most data is de-identified by the submitter prior to upload. | Sites do their own de-identification any way they prefer, so long as it meets their IRB's approval. Pre-validation is performed to ensure all data conforms/harmonizes to the autism data dictionary. QA is also performed by NDAR staff to check for identifiable information. | Archived project, no longer receiving new data. | Yes, pre-validation is performed to ensure all data conforms to the NINDS CDEs.
