Abstract:
|
The NORC training course has four aims. The first is to provide authorized researchers with an understanding of the legal and ethical context within which they are being provided access to the data, together with the practical implications---notably an overview of the basics of disclosure protection. The second is to acquaint researchers with the logistics of working in the enclave from their offices, developing metadata "best practices" and how to work in a geographically distributed collaborative environment. The third is to provide training in the various aspects of the data with which they'll be working, and is typically provided by the data producer. The final component is to develop personal contacts among the researchers, with personal relationship, which research has shown is critical to developing a successful virtual user community.
