9 February 2022, eResearch New Zealand 2022 conference – Āheitanga / Capability Looking through the Five Safes Lens – Sensitive Data Sharing Arrangements and Research Workflows Dr Steven McEachern & Ingrid Mason (formerley of The Australian National University) The Australian National University steven.mceachern@anu.edu.au ABSTRACT / INTRODUCTION The CADRE (Coordinated Access for Data, Research and Environments) Platform project is a co-investment of nine organisations ranging from research intensive universities, federal government research organisations, and national research infrastructure providers. The central aim in developing the CADRE Platform is to expedite researcher access to sensitive data, by augmenting existing authentication and authorisation infrastructure services and establishing shared request management and decision-support services. The CADRE project has used the Five Safes framework as a lens to understand and translate researcher, data owner and custodian, and service provider infrastructure requirements. The framework has been used conceptually to enable dialogue and establish a common information model that is designed to work across social boundaries and anticipates different types of protocols (technical, informational, social and cultural); and sensitive data sharing arrangements and research workflows that run across multiple systems through interoperation and complex collaborations. The presentation will provide an overview of the Five Safes implementation framework developed by the CADRE team, along with a demonstration of the application of the framework to data managed by the Australian Data Archive (ADA). Several examples of cross-jurisdictional, cross-sectoral and cross-community data sharing arrangements that have served as use cases shaping the CADRE information model and driving the development of the CADRE Information Exchange will be referenced. These inter-institutional data sharing arrangements are the foundation for making sensitive data accessible for research through the Australian Data Archive: Ten to Men – Longitudinal Study on Male Health (Australian Institute of Family Studies) DOI: 10.26193/JDE1TD National Drug Strategy Household Survey (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare) DOI: 10.26193/WRHDUL Survey of the Bangladeshi People (Asia Foundation) DOI: 10.26193/D1SRMZ Footprints in Time – Longitudinal Study of Indigenous Children (National Centre for Longitudinal Data, Department of Social Services) DOI: 10.26193/ICEBFP ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CADRE Partners The Australian National University The Australian Access Federation The Research Graph Foundation Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Australian Institute of Family Studies AARNet Australian Research Data Commons University of Melbourne (SOCEY) UNSW (ERICA, Centre for Big Data Research in Health) Swinburne University (Social Data Analytics Lab) Partner co-investment in the CADRE platform project is $3.9M.
