All completed reviews will be sent for evaluation and adjudication by the ICDC Data Governance Advisory Board (DGAB).  The composition of the DGAB is listed below in the Roles and Responsibilities section.  The DGAB will review all completed requests and evaluate them based on the published evaluation criteria. The DGB will make a recommendation on the priority of the request and the recommendation will be provided to the NCI. The NCI will instantiate a group to make the final decision on the request. If a request is not accepted, feedback will be provided to the requester documenting the rationale for the decision. Requesters may, if they have addressed the DGB DGAB comments, resubmit requests that were not initially approved. The DGAB will be responsible for establishing the recommendation Evaluation criteria. The FNL staff will provide logistical support to the DGAB and will also provide summary reports on the number of requests and their disposition. The FNL staff will ensure that the evaluation criteria are completed for each request before consideration by the DGAB. The DGAB and FNL staff will create and maintain the Evaluation criteria used by the DGAB for evaluation. The DGAB, FNL staff and NCI may also work together to develop any needed data policies, for example, data life cycle policy (will all data stay forever, or will data become less available over time).

Composed of 3 external members (from ICDC Steering Committee), 2 NCI members (1 of which is from CBIIT) and supported by FNL staff. The DGAB will be chaired by a non-NCI 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.
